Madeline Schizas, a Canadian figure skater and McMaster University student, received an extension on her sociology assignment after her Instagram request went viral. Schizas cited a scheduling conflict due to the Olympics, explaining that she thought the assignment was due on Sunday, not Friday. The 22-year-old from Oakville, Ontario, known for her deadpan humor, shared her email to the professor with her followers, expressing her excitement as a student-athlete. Despite her initial concern, she received the extension, highlighting the impact of the Olympic spotlight on her academic responsibilities. Schizas is set to graduate in May with a major in Environment and Society, which she compares to environmental studies.
