After the incident, the Asian Badminton Association and the Indonesian Badminton Association issued a statement, saying that Zhang Zhijie died in the hospital at 23:20 local time on June 30.

Zhang Zhijie was "taken to the on-call ambulance and taken to the hospital in less than two minutes," but ultimately failed to save his young life, the statement said.

At present, the official has not disclosed the specific cause of Zhang Zhijie's death, and the relevant situation needs to be further disclosed.

Zhang Zhijie was born in Jiaxing in 2007, entered the national youth team in 2023, and won the men's singles championship of the 15-year-old group in the U15-17 finals of the 2022 National U-Series Badminton Competition, the men's singles champion and men's team champion in Group B of the 2023 National Youth Badminton Championships, the men's singles champion of the 2024 Dutch Youth Badminton International Championships, and the men's team champion in Group B of the 2024 National Youth Badminton Championships.

In an interview before the game, Zhang Zhijie also showed a good mental state, saying that he would work hard to catch up with other masters and prove himself through the results of the competition.

An official statement of the event.

"Last year's defeat made me reflect a lot and saw my impatient and immature side." At that time, he said that he had become more calm psychologically through communication with his coach, but before he could win more honors, the young player unfortunately suffered a tragedy.

When the bad news came, many badminton spectators questioned the treatment at the event site, believing that the tragedy could have been avoided.

It can be seen from the scene that from the time Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground to the time he was carried off the field on a stretcher, the medical team at the venue did not administer AED (external defibrillator) or CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) first aid, and the specific treatment in the ambulance and hospital after that remains to be further disclosed by the event.

Professional medical personnel told the surging news reporter that from the current public on-site situation, there is indeed a possibility of first aid being delayed, "non-contact syncope and fall to the ground first consider cardiac arrest, especially in high-intensity professional competitions, even if the AED does not intervene at the first time, CPR should be taken." ”

"In addition, whether the necessary measures have been taken in the process of sending to the hospital (to be announced), and the ambulance (inside) also needs to carry out a series of rescue measures such as external defibrillation at the first time."

There have been many cases of medical emergencies on the sports field in the past. The speed and professionalism of on-site treatment is often the difference between life and death.

Danish footballer Christian Eriksen narrowly escaped death.

In the 2021 Football European Championship, Denmark midfielder Eriksen fell to the ground without confrontation, teammate Delaney immediately beckoned to the sidelines, and Finland player Pohjanpalo also signaled the referee to stop the game, and the referee immediately signaled medical personnel to enter.

After judging that Eriksen may be in cardiac arrest, the captain of the Danish team, Kjaer, immediately broke Ericksen's mouth according to the first aid knowledge and performed chest compressions on Eriksen. Subsequently, professional medical personnel quickly took over the first aid work such as chest compressions, airway opening, artificial respiration, and AEDs.

It is estimated that only 8 seconds after Erickson's emergency, the team doctor arrived at the scene, 37 seconds for medical personnel with first-aid equipment rushed into the field, 52 seconds AED equipment arrived, and the on-site rescue lasted until 8 minutes and 08 seconds, and the ambulance special stretcher entered to transfer Erickson to the hospital.

In the end, Eriksen survived a series of treatments on the spot, in an ambulance and after being taken to the hospital, not only did he save his life, but he also returned to the field and continued his career.
