The two-time national women’s champion enters this weekend’s Canadian figure skating championships hungry for redemption after falling short of a three-peat last year.
Schizas put down two strong programs to place fifth at Skate Canada International in October, finishing less than two points off the podium with a near personal best. This weekend, tickets for Saturday and Sunday in the 1,800-seat practice rink at Place Bell have sold out. Schizas, whose parents are from Montreal, says both sides of her family will help fill the stands.
Schizas or Ruiter hope to earn two Olympic quota spots for Canada with a top-10 finish at the world championships set for March 24-30 in Boston.
