Kamila Sellier of Poland suffers a severe injury during the women’s 1500 meters short-track event at the Milan Cortina Olympics. A competitor's blade slices her over the left eye, forcing medical personnel to immobilize her on a stretcher. The race halts as Sellier receives urgent care, with a large sheet shielding her from the crowd. Despite the chaos, she gives a thumbs-up as she is taken away, leaving blood on the track. Polish officials confirm her eye is stable; she receives stitches before heading to the hospital for further tests. Meanwhile, 15-time Olympic medalist Ariana Fontana finishes second in the race, advancing to the semifinals and later into the finals. Fontana, tied with Marit Bjørgen for the most Winter Olympic medals, aims for another gold after securing silver in the 500 meters and 3,000-meter relay earlier in the Games.
