The smile on the face of the Polish representative. A voice after the fatal accident at ZIO

Let us recall that the Polish woman’s fatal accident occurred during Friday’s 1,500-meter short track competition. Kamila Sellier fell under the pressure of her rivals and was unfortunately caught by… the blade of the skate of the United States representative. The consequences seemed to be very serious.

WINTER 2026: Kamila Sellier with short information from the hospital. An eloquent photo of a Polish woman

Already on Friday evening, the first signals related to the Polish woman’s health appeared. The representative was quickly taken from the track to a hospital in Milan. As the head of the Polish Olympic mission, Konrad Niedźwiedzki, said, it was a blessing in disguise, the threat to the Polish woman’s eye seemed to have been contained.

The player herself also spoke. Sellier posted a telling photo on social media.

“I know that this photo will one day remind me that I am stronger than I think. Thank you for all the words of support and let me know that I am doing quite well,” the Polish representative wrote on Instagram.

So it seems that everything will slowly return to normal.

2026 Games in Italy. Where and when to watch the Poles’ starts?

The Polish national team during the opening games consists of 60 athletes. In the 21st century, there has never been a time when a Polish woman or a Pole was not on the Olympic podium during the Winter Olympics. During the last winter games, Poland finished the competition with one medal. The bronze medal was won by ski jumper Dawid Kubacki in the normal hill competition.

Kubacki’s result was beaten at the Winter Winter Olympics 2026 by Kacper Tomasiak, a debutant among Olympians. The 19-year-old great talent won a silver medal in the normal hill competition and a bronze medal in the large hill competition in Predazzo. Additionally, the jumpers also placed second on the podium during the duo competition. Paweł Wąsek performed in the duet alongside Tomasiak.

Another Olympic vice-championship was also won by another Olympic Games debutant, Vladimir Semirunniy, in the 10 km speed skating race.

In the history of the Olympic Games, the Polish national 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.
