Madeline Schivas, a Canadian figure skater and McMaster University student, recently requested an extension on a sociology assignment due to her participation in the Olympic Games. In her email to the professor, she explained that she mistakenly believed the assignment was due on Sunday, not Friday, and provided proof of her Olympic participation. Schivas made her Olympic debut at the Milan Cortina games, scoring 64.97 in women’s single skating and is set to compete in the team event later. She humorously expressed her enjoyment of being a student athlete in a social media post.
