Skater Madeline Schizas
Sorry I Didn’t Write My Reflection, Professor …
My Country Needed Me!!!

“The dog ate my homework” excuse is old news … try “My Olympic obligations got in the way” instead!
Madeline Schizas — a figure skater for the Canadian Olympic team — is trying that line out on her college professor at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada … sharing an email she sent asking for an extension.
Check it out … Schizas writes she thought an assignment for her sociology class was due Sunday, not Friday — and, she didn’t have time to complete it anyway because she was representing Canada at the Olympics.
As proof, Schizas sends along an article stating she’s participating in the games … pretty convincing proof, we gotta say.
Schizas participated in the women’s single skating short program Friday … finishing in sixth place — and helping Canadian women’s figure skating into Sunday’s team final.
This is Schizas’ second Olympics … previously appearing in three events at the 2022 games in Beijing.
While it might seem like a no-brainer to let Madeline off the hook, she is a self-proclaimed student-athlete — and, student does come first in that phrase.
So should the professor give her an extension? Or does Schizas have the same standards as everyone else? Vote above!
