Polish speed-skater Kamila Sellier had to be stretchered off the ice on Friday after a competitor's blade sliced her above her left eye in a gory accident during the women's 1,500m at the Winter Olympics.
Sellier went down along with 15-time Olympic medalist Ariana Fontana of Italy and American skater Kristen Santos-Griswold, who was penalised for an illegal lane pass that contributed to the accident and therefore denied her a place in the quarter-final.
