Several days ago we brought you the news that a skating performer for Disney On Ice had been injured and taken to a local hospital.
The remainder of the performance continued as scheduled, and Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Disney On Ice, offered a note of gratitude for its fans, “Disney On Ice appreciates the well wishes from our fans as our team member recovers.” Now, we have an update on the skater’s condition.
According to People, skater Anastasia Olson, who was portraying Belle at the time of her injury, is now classified as being in “satisfactory condition” per officials at Hennepin County Medical Center (Minneapolis, MN), where she is being treated. When the skater initially arrived at the hospital, she was in “critical but stable” condition, which was later downgraded to “serious condition.”
The hospital’s website states that a “satisfactory condition” means she has an “excellent or good prognosis” and is likely conscious with stable vitals. Feld Entertainment had shared shortly after the incident that, “The skater who portrayed Belle was injured while performing a lift during a pair skating part of the routine and fell. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment.”
Per People, someone on X, who had allegedly witnessed the accident, shared, “Belle fell during a lift at Disney on Ice Minneapolis. The beast stumbled into the side during a lift and dropped Belle on the ice. She immediately started seizing and was carried out on a stretcher.”
No other official information pertaining to the skater’s health has been released. Keep following DFB for more Disney news.
