Even Olympians have to do their homework, and Canadian figure skater Madeline Schizas proved that with a hilarious social media post. Schizas, who is making her Olympic debut at the Milan Cortina Games, shared a lighthearted email exchange with her professor, explaining that she needed an extension on an assignment because she was competing in the Olympic Games the day before. She wrote, "I am a student in your Sociology 2FF3 course and am wondering if I could get a short extension on this week’s reflection. I was competing in the Olympic Games yesterday and thought the reflection was due on Sunday, not Friday." Schizas attached a link to a Canadian Olympic Committee press release to prove her participation, and captioned the post, "LOLLLL I❤️being a student athlete." The figure skater earned a score of 64.97 in the women’s single skating event on Friday and will be competing again on Saturday night in the team event. But here's where it gets controversial... Some might argue that Olympians should be excused from such tasks, given their extraordinary commitments. However, others might suggest that these assignments are essential for developing time management and organizational skills, which are valuable for athletes and students alike. So, what do you think? Should Olympians be exempt from homework, or is it an important part of their overall development? Share your thoughts in the comments!
