Ukrainian Paralympian Credits ChatGPT After Biathlon Silver at Milan-Cortina

He says the chatbot shaped half his training over six months, serving as coach, psychologist, sometimes doctor.

Overview

  • Maksym Murashkovskyi took silver in the men’s individual vision-impaired biathlon with a 33:41.1 finish, about two minutes behind China’s Dang Hesong and just ahead of teammate Dmytro Suiarko.
  • Competing in the NS3 visual-impairment class, he chose to race with guide skier Vitaliy Trush, and the event uses electronic rifles with acoustic signals for aiming.
  • Murashkovskyi calls ChatGPT a revolutionary tool and says it accounted for roughly half of his training plan and motivation.
  • He also credits the chatbot for guidance during January’s Para Biathlon World Cup, where he earned multiple medals including a gold.
  • He believes AI systems could partly replace roles like coaching, psychology and medical advising within five to ten years, though not entirely.
