Polish speed skater Kamila Sellier suffered a dramatic injury at the 2026 Winter Olympics when she was slashed by a skate near her eye. The incident happened during the women's 1500m event on Friday, February 20, when Sellier, 25, was cut by Team USA's Kristen Santos-Griswold's skate blade while crashing onto the ice. Santos-Griswold, 31, was penalized for an illegal lane pass that contributed to the accident, eliminating her from the competition. Sellier was immediately attended to by the medical staff, who held up a giant white sheet for privacy.
