Canadian figure skater Madeline Schizas, a McMaster University student, requested a sociology assignment extension after competing in the women’s team event at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, citing a scheduling conflict. Her Instagram post went viral, leading to her professor granting the extension. Schizas humorously acknowledged the support, reflecting on the attention her request garnered. She is set to graduate in May with a major in Environment and Society.
