Team GB's freestyle skier Zoe Atkin is putting AI to the test as she gears up for her second Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina 2026.
In a bid to gain an edge over her competitors, Atkin has been analyzing AI-powered predictions that forecast medal winners at major sporting events. The AI model was created by a team of British developers who specialize in using machine learning algorithms to analyze large datasets.
However, it seems the algorithm got its math wrong and predicted Zoe Atkin would win silver, not gold. "Rude, they gave me silver!" Atkin exclaimed when informed of the prediction error. Her reaction reveals just how confident she is about her chances at this year's games, but also highlights the limitations of using AI in predicting human performance.
The use of AI models to predict sporting outcomes has gained significant attention in recent years as more and more developers work on developing algorithms that can accurately forecast medal winners. But while these models have shown promise, there remains a significant gap between them and actual results.
As Atkin prepares for her upcoming games, she will be keeping a close eye on the AI model's predictions, but ultimately relying on her own skills and training to guide her performance.

You know what's crazy? We're already talking about using AI in sports events like the Olympics? It's like we're saying that humans can't predict human performance anymore 
. But at the same time, I think it's awesome that Zoe Atkin is embracing this tech and trying to get an edge over her competitors. 
It just goes to show how fast our world is moving towards innovation and disruption.
I mean, can't we have both? Can't we still rely on good old-fashioned hard work and dedication to drive success in sports? Or is that just too 'patriotic' of a view? 
. I think it's actually really cool that she's using AI to gain an edge, but also being realistic about its limitations - it's like she knows there's only so much tech can do 
. And let's be real, winning gold is always a bonus, but silver isn't bad either! 
zoey's all confident cuz she knows she's got the skills, but let's be real AI predictions are just that - predictions 
at the end of the day it's about executing on the day and not relying on some algorithm to do the work for u 
It's hilarious that she was expecting gold but got silver instead! Guess you could say the AI was a bit "off-piste" with its predictions! 
But at the same time, it's crazy how much tech is being used in sports now. Like, AI can be super helpful but also kinda unreliable, right? 
It's cool that she's still going to rely on her own skills though - human intuition and all that. 
- it can be kinda right, but also super wrong! Zoe Atkin's situation is actually pretty cool tho 
. I mean, at the end of the day, only she knows what she's capable of doin'. And hey, even if that AI model got it wrong, does that really matter? She'll still give it her all & crush it on the slopes 
. Those British devs better get their math game on 
and I think that's still true even in sports. Let's not get too caught up in tech predictions and remember the importance of hard work and dedication 
. and btw, silver is still a great outcome, don't @ me 
. I MEAN, COME ON, WHO PREDICTS SOMEONE WILL WIN SILVER? 
.
Anyway, I'm really excited to see how this all plays out at the Olympics!
gotta respect how she's staying chill about it tho, still gonna crush the games
