""Wondering if I could get a short extension on this week's reflection," the email read. "I was competing in the Olympic Games yesterday and thought it was due on Sunday, not Friday.""
""LOLLLL I (heart) being a student athlete""
""Since it seems everyone was quite invested, I did get my extension lol," she said. "I can't believe anyone cared so much (crying emoji)." "Good learning lesson about the spotlight of the Olympics.""
Madeline Schizas, a 22-year-old Canadian figure skater and McMaster University student, requested an extension on a sociology reflection after competing in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. She emailed her professor saying she thought the assignment was due Sunday, not Friday, and linked a Canadian Olympic Committee press release to confirm her participation. She posted a screenshot of the email on Instagram and updated followers before the team event free program, which drew viral attention. She confirmed she received the extension and described the experience as a learning lesson about the Olympic spotlight. Schizas is set to graduate in May with a major in Environment and Society.
