Ukrainian Paralympian Maksym Murashkovskyi won a silver medal in biathlon for visually impaired athletes and said he prepared for the Winter Paralympics with the help of an AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in an interview with The Athletic on March 11.

“For the past six months I have been training with ChatGPT. It wasn’t only tactical advice — it helped with half of my training plan and motivation. Sometimes I used it as a psychologist, a coach and even as a doctor.”

Murashkovskyi added that he also uses artificial intelligence in other areas.

“I believe in this technology. It can be used for both good and bad things. I use it for studying, languages and my projects in chemistry, biology and sports.”

Murashkovskyi won a silver medal in the individual race among athletes with visual impairments.

After the fourth day of competition, Ukraine’s team has won 10 medals — three gold, two silver and five bronze — and ranks fifth in the overall standings.

The 2026 Winter Paralympic Games are taking place from March 6 to March 15 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Ukraine is represented at the 2026 Paralympics by a record delegation of 35 participants, including 25 Paralympians and 10 guides. The team is competing in four sports: para biathlon, para cross-country skiing, para alpine skiing and para snowboarding.

Earlier, Valerii Sushkevych, president of the National Paralympic Committee of Ukraine, said that national symbols were confiscated from the family of a Ukrainian athlete at the 2026 Paralympics.
