Olympians have homework, too
If you’ve been one of the many paying attention to Canadian figure skater Madeline Schizas’s posts about life at the 2026 Olympics, you might be wondering whether she’s going to get an extension on that sociology homework.
She posted a photo of an email she sent her sociology professor at Western University, asking for an extension and providing a news release as proof of her Olympics participation.
“I was competing in the Olympic Games yesterday and thought the reflection was due Sunday, not Friday,” Schizas wrote to her professor.
