Poland's 26-year-old Camila Celiere, who suffered a terrible injury during the short track race at the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, has relieved fans around the world by delivering her health condition directly after surgery.

On the 21st (Korea Standard Time), Celiere wrote on her SNS, "One day, looking at this picture, you will remember that you are a stronger person than I thought you were." Thank you so much for all the support. I want to let you know that my current physical condition is fine," he wrote.

Celiere was injured in the women's 1500m quarterfinal Group 6 event at the '2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics' held at Milan Ice Skating Arena on the 20th. Celiere, who was in a fierce battle for the ranking in the middle of the race, lost her balance and fell while turning a corner. In the process, the blade of the skate headed toward Celiere's face and inevitably led to the injury. Siliere complained of severe pain, and the game was immediately suspended.

Shortly after the accident, Celiere showed excessive bleeding on her face. The game was also suspended as medical staff conducted emergency first aid while covering it with a large white cloth. Since then, she has made herself aware of her consciousness by posing 'thumbs up' toward the stands even as she was carried out on a stretcher.

Siliere is said to be in good physical condition after undergoing immediate suture surgery. According to multiple media outlets, including the BBC and the New York Post, CT scans showed that the face was slightly swollen due to a microfracture of the cheekbone. Even surgery to repair the damaged bone was injured. There is no abnormality in the eye condition, but a detailed examination is scheduled to check for possible vision damage.

"It's not a common accident, but it can happen at any time on the ice," said Gabriela Topolska, a Polish national team colleague who was at the scene at the time of the accident, but added, "Seliere has had an accident in the past, and it's heartbreaking to see such an ordeal again."

Celiere, who does not lose her positive energy by saying, "I will be stronger even though I suffered a terrible injury, is receiving heartfelt support from the sports world and fans around the world. Even commentator Kwak Yoon-ki (37) left an emoticon wishing for his recovery.
