A terrible accident occurred during the women's 1500m quarterfinal race in short track. Poland's Camila Celiere (26) suffered a major facial injury while falling in a collision with a previous player.

The unfortunate injury came during the women's 1,500m quarterfinal Group 6 event at the '2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics' held at Milan Ice Skating Arena on the 21st (Korea time).

The accident occurred in the middle of the game when the players were in a fierce competition for rankings around the corner. Celiere lost her balance and fell, and the skate blade of the player right in front of her headed toward Celiere's face and inevitably led to her injury.

Italy's Ariana Fontana, who fell together, also fell on the ice complaining of pelvic and elbow pain, but Celiere's condition seemed much worse. The game was immediately suspended, and medical staff were rushed in to take emergency measures. Celiere was eventually stretchered off the field. According to Eurosport and others, Celiere will be immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for detailed examination and treatment.

Regarding the accident, which greatly affected the outcome of the game, the judges decided as follows after a video review. Santos-Greece World of the United States, who provided the cause of the accident, was disqualified. Noh Do-hee, who played together in Group 6, remained calm in the chaotic atmosphere and crossed the finish line in third place in the rematch to advance to the semifinals.

The crowd at the scene applauded the moment Celiere was carried off on a stretcher. The Polish Skating Union will soon announce the exact extent of her injuries.
