In 2025, artificial intelligence has become another tool for analyzing sports achievements.
Taking this into account, Idman.Biz has tried to determine the best athletes of Azerbaijan based on the results of the year with the help of neural networks.
The latest versions of five leading artificial intelligence (AI) models have compiled their own "top 5" lists of the best athletes of Azerbaijan based on the official results of international tournaments, world and European championships, as well as statistical data published on the Internet.
Interestingly, with rare exceptions, most AI models have demonstrated a similar position when choosing the leaders of the lists. The Chinese neural network was particularly noteworthy. Thus, it was the only model to include a female athlete in the "top 5" list.
"ChatGPT" from "OpenAI" - the world's most popular AI model:
1. Ulvi Ganizade (72 kg) - World champion in Greco-Roman wrestling, silver medalist of the European Championship;
2. Hasrat Jafarov (67 kg) - Silver medalist of the World Championship in Greco-Roman wrestling, European champion;
3. Subhan Mammadov (48 kg) - World Boxing Champion according to the IBA version;
4. Eldaniz Azizli (55 kg) - Bronze medalist of the World and European Championships in Greco-Roman wrestling;
5. Murad Ahmadiev (97 kg) - Bronze medalist of the World Championship in Greco-Roman wrestling.
"Gemini" from "Google" (in addition to the results of athletes, the ranking of the Ministry of Youth and Sports was also taken into account):
1. Hasrat Jafarov;
2. Giorgi Meshvildishvili (125 kg) - Silver medalist of the World Freestyle Wrestling Championship, European champion;
3. Zelim Kotsoev (100 kg) - Silver medalist of the European Championship, bronze medalist of the World Championship;
4. Ulvi Ganizade;
5. Eljan Hajiyev (90 kg) - Bronze medalist of the World Judo Championship and one of the most developing athletes of the year.
"Claude" from "Anthropic" - one of the leading neural networks in the field of programming:
1. Ulvi Ganizade;
2. Nihat Mammadli (60 kg) - European champion in Greco-Roman wrestling, winner of the rating tournament in Budapest;
3. Hasrat Jafarov;
4. Gurban Gurbanov (82 kg) - European champion in Greco-Roman wrestling;

4. Murad Ahmadiev;
5. Islam Bazarqanov (57 kg) - Silver medalist of the Islamic Solidarity Games, bronze medalist of the European Championship.
The sensational Chinese neural network "Deepseek":

3. Gular Huseynova (46 kg) - European Boxing Champion, winner of the III CIS Games;
4. Gardash Rahimov (46 kg) - U-17 European Boxing Champion, winner of the III CIS Games;

It should be noted that some of the AI models listed above, in their comments on their ratings, also specifically highlighted the name of the Azerbaijani mini-football team, which won the World Championship held in Baku this year.
