Canadian figure skater Madeline Schizas has become an internet sensation after missing a college assignment deadline while focusing on her Olympic performance.<\/p>\n
NBC Olympics reported on February 9 that Schizas inadvertently mixed up the due date for her sociology class assignment during the Milano Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
In an email to her professor, Schizas explained, “I got so caught up in the Olympic whirlwind that I misread the deadline,” and requested an extension.<\/p>\n
She added, “I competed in the Olympics yesterday and am still in the midst of the competition.”<\/p>\n
To back up her claim, Schizas included a link to the official press release from the Canadian Olympic Committee.<\/p>\n
After sending the email, Schizas shared a screenshot on her Instagram story, which quickly went viral.<\/p>\n

The professor’s response<\/span>[McMaster University official Instagram]<\/span>[McMaster University official Instagram]<\/span><\/div>\n
was supportive, stating, “Given these exceptional circumstances, an extension is absolutely no problem. Focus on your competition now, and submit the assignment when you’re done.”<\/p>\n
He added, “The entire country is rooting for you and your team.”<\/p>\n
McMaster University also confirmed the approval of the assignment extension through its official Instagram account.<\/p>\n
This marks Schizas’ second Olympic appearance, following her debut at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
In the women’s singles short program, she delivered a Lion King-inspired performance that secured her sixth place.<\/p>\n
Schizas is set to compete again in the women’s singles short program on the 17th, with medal contenders to be determined on the 19th.<\/p>\n
Off the ice, Schizas is pursuing a degree in Human Behavior at McMaster University and plans to resume her studies after the Olympics.<\/p>\n
