Olympic speedskater Kamila Sellier cut in fall, eye reportedly safe

Kamila Sellier suffered a frightening facial injury during the women’s 1,500-meter short-track quarterfinal at the 2026 Winter Olympics after a collision caused by an illegal pass. She received stitches and further medical care, while Kristen Santos-Griswold was penalized. The incident paused the event and deeply affected competitors and spectators. Racing later resumed, but Sellier’s injury became one of the most sobering moments of the Games.
