Short track-Poland's Sellier 'okay' after suffering facial injury in race crash
- MILAN, Feb 21: Kamila Sellier, the 25-year-old Polish short track skater, said she was `doing okay` after suffering a facial cut in a crash on Friday at the Milano Cortina Olympics.
- As the race unfolded at full speed, three skaters battling for position in the women's 1500m quarter-final were involved in a collision after an attempted inside pass by Kristen Santos-Griswold triggered the incident.
- Medical teams rushed onto the ice within seconds, a white privacy screen was raised during treatment, and Sellier was stretchered off while giving a thumbs-up to the crowd.
- Officials reviewed the crash under International Skating Union rules and disqualified Kristen Santos-Griswold for an illegal lane pass, reshaping the women's 1500m quarter-final result.
- Despite strengthened suit rules, the crash highlighted ongoing safety concerns, with Polish officials awaiting hospital tests and no return timeline for Sellier, said Konrad Niedwiedzki.
