Polish short track speed skater Kamila Sellier, 25, underwent surgery after a severe accident at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, where an opponent's skate blade cut her face. The incident occurred during the 1500-meter quarterfinals on Friday when American Kristen Santos-Griswold's skate struck Sellier under the left eye. Polish official Konrad Niedzwiedzki confirmed the surgery successfully repaired damaged bone and cleaned the wound, though Sellier experienced significant swelling and is awaiting further tests on her eye's mobility. Sellier, a medalist at the 2025 World Championships, had humorously posted about the sport's dangers just a day prior. Both skaters were disqualified following the race stoppage.
