A sad news that Zhang Zhijie, a young player of the national badminton youth team, suddenly fainted on the court when he participated in the last match of the group stage of the Asian Youth Badminton Championships team stage in Indonesia on the evening of June 30, and died at 23:20 local time after being rescued by the medical department of the organizing committee of the tournament and local hospitals.
The Chinese Badminton Association expressed deep condolences for Zhang Zhijie's unfortunate death on July 1, and the Asian Badminton Federation organized all those present to mourn for the unfortunate death of Zhang Zhijie before the start of the Asian Youth Championships team competition on July 1.
However, this move of the Asian Badminton Federation has attracted scolding, and many domestic netizens have criticized the Asian Badminton Federation for not having adequate ambulance, only formalism, and criticism is very harsh, specifically saying: "There is a fart, if you don't save it in time before you die, you are speechless, what is the referee, what is the medical level, what is the referee, what is the medical level", "It still can't cover up the untimely rescue", "This kind of thing should be submitted to the AFBF and the organizing committee for protesting, thoroughly investigating the cause of the incident, and holding accountable the relevant responsible persons"
It can be seen that domestic netizens are in a big mood, and they are dissatisfied that the official rescue is not in place, so that a vigorous child will lose his life.
Looking back at the situation at that time, there were indeed cases where the first aid was not in place, first the referee did not allow the coach to come forward to contact the athletes, the on-site medical staff entered the stadium slowly, and they were not equipped with defibrillators, which became controversial points. It has been more than 3 minutes from Zhang Zhijie fainting to being treated and then being carried on a stretcher and sent to the hospital for treatment, and it can be basically determined that Zhang Zhijie's sudden death was affected by certain factors of untimely rescue.
A professional doctor in China paid attention to the incident and gave a professional opinion, believing that Zhang Zhijie was most likely a malignant arrhythmia and needed to use AED defibrillation on site, but the on-site medical staff did not do so. At the same time, the doctor also made it clear that the first treatment of heart problems is very important, so the on-site medical staff are very responsible for not dealing with them in a timely manner. Finally, the professional doctor also made it clear that the level of first aid in Indonesia is indeed not as high as that of our first-tier cities, which means that the poor level of official medical care is an important factor in Zhang Zhijie's sudden death.
What the outside world also needs to know is that in 2021, Indonesian Olympic badminton champion Guido fell to the ground while playing in the stadium and unfortunately passed away on the way to the hospital, which means that it is not the first time that an athlete has died suddenly in Indonesia's competition venues.
For this reason, the local Indonesian Badminton Association must give a clear explanation, and the Chinese Badminton Association also revealed that the local hospital has not been able to clarify the cause of death so far.
Zhang Zhijie is an outstanding talent of the Chinese badminton team, a good son of his mother at home, and an excellent younger brother of his sister, his life should not be so disregarded, the Asian Badminton Association and the Indonesian Badminton Association must give an explanation!
