Career
Sellier made her World Cup debut in October 2015 in Calgary.[1] At the 2017 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Erzurum, she won a gold medal in the 1000 meters and silver in the mixed relay.[2] That same year, she was one of five athletes nominated for the Piotr Nurowski Award for the best young athlete in Europe, awarded by the Association of European Olympic Committees.[3] On 16 February 2020, in Dordrecht, she stood on the podium in a World Cup competition for the first time, taking third place in the 500 meters.[4] On 14 January 2024, Sellier, together with Nikola Mazur, Diané Sellier, and Michał Niewiński, won a silver medal in the 2000m at the European Short Track Speed Skating Championships.[5][6]
In January 2026, Sellier competed at the 2026 European Short Track Speed Skating Championships and won a silver medal in the 2000 metre mixed relay.[7] She was subsequently selected to represent Poland at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[8] On 20 February during the Winter Olympics at the Milano Ice Skating Arena, Sellier was immobilized on a stretcher and wheeled out of the arena after a competitor's blade sliced her below her left eye during the 1,500 meters. She received stitches at the arena before going to the hospital for more tests.[9] Sellier was forced to undergo facial surgery as a result of the crash.[10]
