According to reports, in the 2024 Asian Youth Badminton Championships, in the China vs Japan match, 17-year-old Zhang Zhijie suddenly fainted at the game site and died after being sent to the hospital.
After hearing this bad news, netizens deeply regretted the fate of this teenager, he is only 17 years old, it can be said that life has just begun, it is hard to imagine how his family should accept such a fact.
Zhang Zhijie was born in Jiaxing in January 2007, and has won the men's singles championship of the 15-year-old group of the U15-17 finals of the 2022 National U-Series Badminton Competition, the men's singles champion of Group B of the 2023 National Youth Badminton Championships, the men's singles champion of the 2023 World Youth Badminton Championships, and the champion of the 2024 Dutch Youth Badminton International Grand Prix.
A few days ago, CCTV also specially interviewed Zhang Zhijie, he expressed his spirit of not admitting defeat to the camera, saying that he would rush forward bravely, the young man seemed to be full of hope and ambition for the future, but he didn't expect this interview to become his last interview, and since then there has been one less athlete in this world.
After hearing the news, Olympic champion Cai Yun also posted a blog to mourn Zhang Zhijie: I was extremely sad to get up early in the morning and see such news, the Chinese badminton team lost an excellent young man, and the parents lost a good son forever, hoping that the deceased would rest in peace, Cai Yun also mentioned that his heart was not good, and he withdrew from the national team in 2001, and then in January 2002, he did cardiac radiofrequency ablation in a hospital in Nanjing, and it took more than half a year to slowly recover.
Soon Zhang Zhijie's picture of the day's game was also made public, and it can be seen in the video that after he threw the ball in his hand to the opponent, the opposing athlete was preparing to serve, Zhang Zhijie suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, and convulsed for a few seconds after falling to the ground, and then the coach went on the court to check the situation, but was stopped by the referee in the rules, when the coach walked to him, Zhang Zhijie also consciously raised his head, and his arm was still moving, and he didn't move for about five or six seconds, and then the coach called the medical staff to play, judging from the video, Zhang Zhijie should have missed the best rescue time, if he fell to the ground as soon as possible, someone would give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or he could save the fate of this teenager.
Later, the Asian Badminton Federation and the Indonesian Badminton Association officially wrote in the announcement: "Chinese singles player Zhang Zhijie fainted on the court during a match in the evening and died at 23:20 local time after being taken to the hospital.
But there were fans watching the scene who witnessed the whole process of his illness, saying that Zhang Zhijie did not get the first time to be treated, that his condition was delayed, and the medical team did not give him AED (external defibrillator) or CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) first aid, and the moment he fell to the ground, the referees on both sides did not lift their buttocks, very indifferent, some people reported that there were no effective rescue measures at the scene, and Zhang Zhijie was carried on a stretcher after more than two minutes passed, and then it is unknown how long he was delayed on the road.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhijie's sister also questioned the lack of medical care at the scene of the competition system, and the sister said that the younger brother was a very well-behaved child, and he was also very filial, and he would buy gifts for his family when he got the bonus, and he took this profession very seriously.
My sister said that she also watched the video, and because she couldn't get to the scene of her brother's game, she could only contact the coach until half past nine in the evening, and then she heard the bad news of her brother's death, and her sister couldn't accept what the local officials said about giving her brother the first time to save her.
After seeing the live video, netizens also felt the same way, that is, the rescue was not timely, which delayed the golden rescue time, and netizens agreed that this was a medical accident, and the organizer and other relevant personnel must be responsible.
When actor Gao Yixiang was recording a variety show on Zhejiang TV, he also died in a sudden accident, although his last picture has not been exposed so far, but seeing Zhang Zhijie today, I feel that I can also see Gao Yixiang's scene back then.
At present, the official has not disclosed the specific reasons for Zhang Zhijie's death, the relevant situation needs to be further disclosed, I hope Zhang Zhijie's family can mourn and change, no matter how much he says, it is pale, the departure of relatives is not a temporary storm, but a lifetime of dampness, his parents have raised their children so well, you can imagine how much they have paid in the middle, it's a pity, pray that Zhang Zhijie will go all the way, and there will be no more pain in heaven. #张志杰#
