Why Zoltán Bubonyi ranks #52 in Table Tennis
Zoltán Bubonyi ranks 52nd among Table Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 3474th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Table Tennis reference universe of 291 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1977–1990 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1982, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes european team titles 1, european championship medals 3, hungarian titles 4, world championship appearances 4.
Immediately ahead sits Bai Yang on 83.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Ai Fukuhara on 83.1. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
