The Pole had a terrible accident at the Olympics. We know what’s going on with her health
Good news about Kamila Sellier’s health. The Polish short track representative was released from hospital after a serious accident on the Olympic route.
Kamila Sellier’s fatal accident occurred on Friday evening (i.e. February 20), during a 1,500-meter short track competition. The Polish woman fell after contact with her rivals, and was unfortunately caught by the US representative’s ski.
Sellier was quickly transported to a hospital in Milan. Fortunately, there was no eye damage, which was the most important thing in this case.
What about Kamila Sellier’s health? There is the latest news about the Polish representative
The athlete herself posted a telling post on social media last weekend. First, by thanking for the support right after the unfortunate accident, and then by supporting the mentioned rival from the USA, who was met with a wave of unflattering comments. The Pole clearly sided with her friend on the ice.
What’s next for Sellier? The latest news was provided by the Polish Olympic Committee on Monday (February 23).
“Kamila left the hospital and is returning to Poland by car with her parents. She is feeling better, although she is still very sore. She will undergo the rest of the diagnostics in Poland,” we read in a short statement from the Polish Olympic Committee, sent to WP/SportoweFakty.
So it looks like the Pole was very lucky. The representative is very ambitious, so we can expect that she will return to short track routes and will delight fans with her results more than once.
Winter Winter 2026: Four Olympic medals for the Polish team
The Games on the Apennine Peninsula were quite successful for the Polish team. Looking at the medal achievements, this is the best performance of the Olympic team in red and white colors in over 12 years.
Medals for the Polish national team during the 2026 Winter Olympics were won mainly by ski jumpers. One of them, a 19-year-old Olympic debutant – Kacper Tomasiak – won three of them. The leader of coach Maciej Maciusiak’s team was silver on the normal hill, bronze on the large hill in Predazzo and again the Olympic vice-champion in the duet competition. In the latter case, Paweł Wąsek formed a two-person team with Tomasiak.
We also cannot forget about the first medal for Polish men at the Winter Olympics since 2014. Vladimir Semirunniy reached for it. “Władek” became the Olympic vice-champion in the 10 km distance.
In its history of participation in the Winter Olympics, the Polish team has won a total of 27 medals – seven gold, ten silver and ten bronze, respectively. Interestingly, the first bronze medal for Poland was won by Franciszek Gąsienica-Groń (Nordic combined) almost exactly 70 years ago, during the Olympic Games in… Cortina d’Ampezzo. This year, history has come full circle in a beautiful Italian-Polish Olympic circle.
Speaking of history, another special story happened during Winter Olympics 2026. Namely, Klaudia Adamek was the first in the history of Polish Olympism to take part in both the summer and winter games. A former athlete and participant of the Olympic Games in Tokyo (2021) in the 4×100 meters relay, she completed the Olympic set by starting in Italy (2026) in the bobsled doubles.
