Overview
- The Polish skater was struck near her left eye by a rival’s blade during a quarterfinal crash, prompting an immediate race stoppage at the Arena di Assago.
- Medical teams treated Sellier on the ice with sutures, covered the area from view, and evacuated her on a stretcher as she signaled a thumbs-up to the crowd.
- Polish team officials said her eye appears unharmed, and she was transferred to a hospital for further tests to evaluate a possible cheekbone injury.
- Judges found Santos-Griswold responsible for the maneuver that triggered the multi-skater fall and issued a disqualification.
- The incident ended Sellier’s run in the event and disrupted other contenders, including Italy’s Arianna Fontana, as staff cleaned blood from the final turn before competition resumed.
