On July 1, the Indonesian Badminton Association and the local hospital (Sardjito) held a press conference to explain the sudden death of Chinese badminton star Zhang Zhijie on the field, and it was revealed that Zhang Zhijie had no spontaneous breathing and pulse when he arrived at the hospital. Before the start of the badminton Asian Youth Championships team competition on the 1st, all the staff present mourned for Zhang Zhijie.

According to the Indonesian Badminton Association, Zhang Zhijie had no pulse and spontaneous breathing after arriving at the hospital, and the hospital then performed 3 hours of cardiac resuscitation, and at 20:50, the hospital thought that Zhang Zhijie had died, and the Chinese Badminton Association still tried to transfer to another hospital for cardiac resuscitation. 1.5 hours later, death was pronounced at 23:20. Zhang Zhijie's body is still in Sardjito Hospital, waiting for his parents and family to arrive from China. The Indonesian Badminton Association called on the dissemination of video photos of Zhang Zhijie's last moments to show respect for the deceased.

At the same time, the Indonesian Badminton Association submitted a written application to the International Badminton Federation, requesting the International Badminton Federation to revise the rules that medical teams are not allowed to enter without the permission of the referee, so that athletes can be treated as soon as possible.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning also responded to Zhang Zhijie's unexpected death, saying: "We have also heard this unfortunate news, and after learning of this incident, the Chinese Consulate General in Surabaya immediately contacted and coordinated the Indonesian side to make all-out efforts to treat the incident, and sent personnel to the scene of the incident to carry out work." We deeply regret and mourn the unfortunate passing of the person concerned and express our condolences to his family. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to guide the Consulate General in Surabaya and do a good job in the follow-up work within the scope of its duties. ”

Before the start of the badminton Asian Youth Championships team competition on the 1st, the Asian Badminton Federation organized all the people present to mourn for Zhang Zhijie. In the quarterfinals, after the Chinese team's Hu Keyuan/Lin Xiangyi won 2-0 in the first men's doubles match, the two youngsters looked to the sky and comforted the deceased Zhang Zhijie.

Former Olympic champion and world champion Cai Yun posted on his personal social platform to express condolences for Zhang Zhijie's death, "I am extremely sad to wake up in the morning and see such news, the Chinese badminton team has lost an outstanding young man, and the parents have lost a good son forever, I hope the deceased will rest in peace." I quit the national team after the 2001 National Games, and in January 2002, I had a radiofrequency ablation of the heart at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, and I recovered for most of the year, and returned to the national team in July, so I don't want to say more...... In addition, an interview with Olympic champion Lin Dan complaining about the International Badminton Federation in the past has also been excavated, Lin Dan has said that the intensity of the badminton game is very high, and the rest time is very short, "I don't think they (the International Badminton Federation) have taken these details into account." They should create a better playing environment and rest time for athletes. ”

In addition, a doctor from a tertiary hospital in China said that Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground and convulsed without contact, and then died unexpectedly after being sent to the hospital, which is basically in line with the situation of sudden sports death, but judging from the video at the scene, the rescue response was a little sluggish. "The most critical thing for sudden sports death is to rescue the player at the first time, and the medical personnel on the scene should do cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to the first aid procedure and use an AED (automated external defibrillator) after judging that the player is unconscious." However, in the two minutes between Zhang Zhijie's fall to the ground and his being carried out of the venue, the on-site medical personnel did not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other first-aid measures on him.
