Disney on Ice Skater Who Was Hospitalized After Fall During Show Is Now in Stable Condition

Professional ice skater Anastasia Olson, 31, was injured Saturday during a lift while performing as Belle in Disney on Ice’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’

A Disney on Ice skater who was hospitalized after a serious fall during a show in Minnesota is now in stable condition.

Officials at Hennepin County Medical Center told PEOPLE that as of Wednesday night, Anastasia Olson, 31, was now classified in “satisfactory condition.”

That means he has an “excellent or good prognosis,” according to the hospital’s website. Patients listed as “satisfactory” are also conscious and have stable vital signs.

Earlier this week, the hospital told PEOPLE that Olson was initially in “serious condition.”

Olson — who portrays Princess Belle in the Disney on Ice performance Beauty and the Beast – was injured Saturday during the 11 a.m. show at the Target Center in Minneapolis and was rushed to the hospital.

“The skater who played Belle was injured while performing a lift during the pair skating portion and fell. She was taken to a local hospital for treatment,” a spokesperson for Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Disney on Ice, told PEOPLE in a previous statement.

“This happened about 40 minutes into the show,” a spectator recalled. “They were going up, it seemed wobbly and she fell. I’m extremely thankful and grateful to the remaining staff and performers who carried on because it keeps the magic alive for the kids. I know it must have been very difficult.”

Another onlooker recalled the accident in a post on Xu, formerly Twitter, writing: “Belle fell on the elevator at Disney on Ice Minneapolis. The beast stumbled sideways during the lift and dropped Belle onto the ice. She immediately had a seizure and was taken out on a stretcher.”

No further information on Olson’s condition has been released.

Disney on ice appreciates the well wishes from our fans as our team member recovers.” Feld’s statement received.
