Personal life

Schizas was born on February 14, 2003, in Oakville, Ontario.[1] She attends White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville.[2]

Career

Early years

Schizas began learning to skate in 2006.[1] She placed sixth skating in the novice ranks at the 2018 Canadian Championships and won silver as a junior at the 2019 Canadian Championships.

In 2019, she served as a skating double during filming of the Netflix drama Spinning Out.[3][4]

2019–2020 season

Making her junior international debut, Schizas placed fifth at the Volvo Open Cup in November 2019 in Riga, Latvia. She then won gold in the senior women's category at the Skate Canada Challenge, allowing her to compete as a senior at the 2020 Canadian Championships. In January, she became the Canadian national bronze medalist, having ranked second in the short program and third in the free skate. She finished 7.47 points behind the champion, Emily Bausback, and 0.87 behind silver medalist Alison Schumacher.

In February, Schizas won gold in Group II junior ladies at the Bavarian Open. Her senior international debut came later that month, at the International Challenge Cup in The Hague, Netherlands. Ranked sixth in the short and third in the free, she finished third overall behind Japan's Rika Kihira and Yuhana Yokoi and was awarded the bronze medal. Her score, 175.56, was the highest score by any Canadian lady that season, though it does not count to the official ISU Season Best Scores.[5] She was also the only Canadian lady to medal at any event that season. Despite this fact, she was passed up for the 2020 World Championships and the 2020 Junior Worlds, in favor of more experienced competitors.[6]
