Polish short-track skater Kamila Sellier was stretchered off the ice during the women's 1500 meters quarterfinal at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics after a blade cut her above the left eye, causing a fall that involved Italy’s Ariana Fontana and American Kristen Santos-Griswold, who was penalized. The race paused as Sellier received medical attention, leaving a blood trail that required cleaning. Polish officials confirmed her injury was not serious; she received stitches at the arena and was hospitalized for evaluation. Fontana, who also sustained minor injuries, advanced to the final and narrowly won gold, aiming to tie Marit Bjørgen’s record as the most decorated Winter Olympian.
