On one of the turns, the group became very tight. After a mistake by one of the competitors, several skaters fell, including favorite Arianna Fontana. However, Sellier suffered the most serious injury. She fell on the ice right next to another skater\u2019s blades and was cut by a skate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>The referees immediately stopped the race, and medical teams rushed onto the ice. Sellier\u2019s condition required urgent attention. She was taken off the rink on a stretcher and transported to the hospital.

She suffered cuts to her eyelid and cheek, and doctors suspected a fracture of her cheekbone.<\/p>\n<p>Later that night, Katarzyna Kochaniak-Roman, spokesperson for the Polish Olympic Committee, informed the media that Sellier underwent a procedure. Doctors reopened the wound to carefully check the condition of the bone after a CT scan showed a small fracture. She remained in the hospital overnight for observation. Kochaniak-Roman said the skater was \u201cvery brave,\u201d adding that she was able to get out of bed on her own. Her parents and the national team doctor have been by her side.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Kamila-Sellier-of-Team-Poland-Crash.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Olympic Speed Skater Cut in Face by Skate in Gnarly Scene at 2026 Games |  Us Weekly\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday morning, sports journalist Mateusz Lig\u0119za from Radio ZET shared an update on X, writing that Sellier slept through the night.
