Speedskater Kamila Sellier suffered a cut<\/a> above her left eye after another competitor’s blade struck her during the 1,500 meters on Friday at the Milan Cortina Olympics.<\/p>\n

The Polish athlete was on the short track when she fell behind American skater Kristen Santos-Griswold<\/a>, whose blade caught Sellier near her eye.<\/p>\n

Both Santos-Griswold and Sellier slid across the ice and crashed into the wall, but Sellier lay motionless as medics rushed to her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bloody scene was covered up by other staff.<\/p>\n

She was eventually immobilized on a stretcher but gave a thumbs-up as she was wheeled away.<\/p>\n

Polish officials said Sellier\u2019s eye was OK<\/a>. She received stitches at the arena before being taken to a hospital for more tests.<\/p>\n

Sellier posted a selfie on Instagram<\/a>, hiding the left side of her face, saying she was “doing quite okay.”<\/p>\n

“I know that one day i\u2019ll look at this picture and remember that i\u2019m stronger than i ever believed. Thank you for all your words of support, just wanted to let you know that i\u2019m doing quite okay,” Sellier wrote.<\/p>\n

Santos-Griswold was penalized for attempting an illegal pass that contributed to the crash.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old was vying for her first Olympic medal after taking home a silver and bronze in last year’s World Championships in Beijing.<\/p>\n

The Polish speedskating team is awaiting word on whether there have been “any signs of damage” to her eye, according to the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n
