The team competition of the Asian Youth Badminton Championships was held in Indonesia, and the last fierce matchup of the group stage was ushered in on June 30, and the game was in full swing, with the first game of the two sides fighting to 11 draws, and the suspense was repeated. However, no one could have imagined that a tragedy was about to unfold.
Chinese player Zhang Zhijie was about to meet the serve from the Japanese player, but unexpectedly, he suddenly had an accident and fell to the ground suddenly, infuriating that in the first 30 seconds, there were no medical staff to check his symptoms; It was 30 seconds before a stretcher entered the arena and carried him away.
The Asian Badminton Confederation (AFBF) and the Indonesian Badminton Association jointly issued a statement revealing that Zhang Zhijie was rushed to a medical center for treatment within two minutes of falling to the ground. Sadly, in the end, he still did not survive and died suddenly.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, triggering widespread mourning and condemnation from all walks of life. I can't help but wonder why in such a high-profile badminton event, an automated external defibrillator (AED) is not equipped with a key first aid device?
AEDs are known as a "life-saver" and can greatly improve the patient's chances of survival in the event of a cardiac arrest emergency. If there had been an AED on the field at that time and it could have been used in time, perhaps Zhang Zhijie's life would have had a glimmer of life
