ChatGPT helps biathlete win Paralympic silver

Ukraine's Maksym Murashkovskyi told BBC Sport he used ChatGPT for six months as a coach, psychologist, and occasional medical adviser, and credits it with roughly half his training plan on the way to Para-biathlon silver. It's a striking example of a mainstream LLM jumping from desk work into elite performance coaching.

// ANALYSIS

This is a vivid adoption story, but also a warning shot: people are already treating general-purpose AI as a trusted adviser in high-stakes, body-level decisions. The medal is the headline; the bigger story is how fast chatbot authority is expanding beyond its original lane.

  • ChatGPT's role here was less about raw sports analytics and more about constant planning, motivation, and structured feedback.
  • The story shows consumer AI becoming a personal operating layer for users, not just a tool for writing and search.
  • Murashkovskyi saying he used it "sometimes, as a doctor" highlights the unresolved safety problem around health and training advice from general LLMs.
  • For AI builders, this is evidence that users want persistent, personalized guidance systems that feel like coaches, not just assistants.
