Everyone held their heads when they saw the Polish woman’s dramatic fall. Sellier was in a position to advance to the semi-finals of the Olympic competition for a long time when a fatal event occurred.

First information about Kamila Sellier’s health condition
The run was immediately stopped and medical services appeared on the ice. Only after a few minutes did Sellier leave the ice on a stretcher, and the first information about her health condition was provided by TVP Sport journalist Aleksander Dzięciołowski.
— Likelihood of cheekbone fracture. The swelling is so bad that he cannot open his eye. The cheek is stitched – it is on the way to the hospital – he reported via the X portal.
Moreover, Patrycja Maliszewska also reported good news on Eurosport. – There is information that Kamila’s eye is OK. And this is the most important news at the moment – she revealed.
“Kamila is currently on the way to a procedure to reopen the wound so that doctors can accurately assess the condition of the bones. The decision was made after the results of a computed tomography scan, which showed a small fracture. After the procedure, Kamila will stay overnight in the hospital for observation. She is very brave – she got out of bed on her own. Her parents and the national team doctor are with her all the time,” said Mateusz Ligęza from Radio ZET.
The other Polish women will not have a successful Olympic start in the 1500 m. Natalia Maliszewska, who rode in the first quarter-final, was last for a long time, but two competitors in front of her fell and our compatriot finished fourth. The Pole had no guarantee of advancement and had to keep her fingers crossed for her best time. Ultimately, the other results were so different that she did not advance to the semi-finals. In her quarterfinal, the last one to arrive was Gabriela Topolska, who also fell on the ice after contact with her rival.
