Madeline Schizas

Madeline Christine Alyette Schizas (born February 14, 2003) is a Canadian figure skater. She is a three-time ISU Challenger Series bronze medallist, the 2020 Challenge Cup bronze medallist, and a four-time Canadian national champion (2022–23, 2025–26). She represented Canada at the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics.

Personal life Schizas was born on February 14, 2003, in Oakville, Ontario. Going on to compete at the 2025 Finlandia Trophy, she placed third in the short program and fifth in the free skate, finishing fifth overall. "I’m so excited to be going to a second Olympics," she said. "The first one was obviously COVID. I’m really excited I’ll have my family there. My aunts and uncle are coming. My parents are coming. So, I’m really, really excited that they’re all going to be there."

On February 6, Schizas placed sixth in the short program in the 2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event. Despite a technical glitch with her music at the beginning, she said, "I'm happy with my performance today. I think that I skated my elements very well."

In the individual event, Schizas finished the short program in twenty-fifth place after she doubled an attempted triple loop jump; this was an invalid element, which gave her no points. She failed to qualify for the free skate.

The following month, Schizas competed at the 2026 World Championships in Prague where she placed fifteenth overall, after fifteenth-place finishes in both the short program and the free skate. After her short program she shared, "I'm happy with the way I skated. I think I was able to show a lot of resilience today, coming back and putting my previous performances behind me for the World Championships. I was very relieved."

Skating technique Unlike most skaters, Schizas spins and jumps clockwise, although she is not left-handed.
