There is bad news in the badminton arena, Zhang Zhijie, a 17-year-old Chinese badminton star, unfortunately collapsed on the court in a key battle at the 2024 Asian Youth Badminton Championships, and finally passed away due to ineffective rescue. The tragedy has sparked widespread attention and discussion, shocking the entire domestic sports community and many badminton fans, especially questioning the response and ability of the tournament organizers to provide emergency medical assistance.
Zhang Zhijie suddenly fell to the ground during the match and was accompanied by convulsions. However, based on media information and feedback from the audience, the response of the medical team was slow and lacked professional first aid measures, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This has drawn widespread criticism from fans about the ability of the medical response at the event. People questioned why the organizers failed to take effective first aid measures quickly at such a critical time, and missed the golden time for treatment.
Including Zhang Zhijie's family members and many domestic netizens pointed out that the arrival time of the medical team at the game site was slow and they were not professional enough when dealing with emergencies. And there seems to be a lack of necessary first-aid equipment, such as AEDs, at the scene. Everyone knows how important this is for first aid in cardiac arrest, and there are relevant equipment in many public places in the country. At the same time, everyone doubted whether the organizers had made adequate emergency plans before the games, especially in high-risk sports events, and there have been many sports events around the world due to the lack of relevant plans, and finally problems and tragedies.
At the same time, the European Championship is also underway, injuries and heart problems are frequent, but most of the time because they can get timely and effective treatment, the player can turn the corner, just like the Danish player Eriksen in the last European Cup, because he received timely treatment, he can continue to play, and he also participated in this European Cup. In view of Zhang Zhijie's tragedy, the public strongly calls on the organizers and relevant organizations to pay attention to the safety of athletes' lives and improve the level of medical protection for the event to avoid the next tragedy.
Zhang Zhijie's death is both a tragedy and a warning. It reminds us that organizers of sporting events need to take greater responsibility for the safety of their athletes. By improving emergency medical response and emergency preparedness, we can reduce the occurrence of such tragedies and protect the lives of every athlete. Let's work together to raise the safety standards of sporting events to honor the life of this young athlete, Zhang Zhijie, and to ensure that all athletes can compete in a safe environment. The same applies to other sports, and hopefully such tragedies will be eradicated in the future.
