Zhang Zhijie, a 17-year-old Chinese badminton player who was participating in a competition in Indonesia, died unexpectedly. His sister said she would “get to the bottom of this matter”. Yesterday, Zhang Zhijie’s sister reposted the “World Badminton Federation” announcement on Weibo, with the message “get to the bottom of this matter. Please ask all parties to be responsible for a life, for Chinese citizens competing abroad, for the athletes of the national youth team, and give our family an explanation.”

Regarding Zhang Zhijie’s sudden death, the Badminton World Federation posted a Weibo the day before yesterday, saying that it is taking all necessary measures to consult with the Badminton Asia Confederation and the Indonesian Badminton Federation to thoroughly review the matter. The Badminton World Federation will determine whether the medical procedures need to be modified after the review is completed.

On the evening of June 30, during the mixed team group match of the 2024 Asian Youth Badminton Championships held in Indonesia, 17-year-old Chinese badminton player Zhang Zhijie suddenly fainted and died after being sent to the hospital. The Indonesian Badminton Federation said on the 1st that Zhang Zhijie died of sudden cardiac arrest.

According to Red Star News, Zhang Zhijie’s first coach Li Wei said that as far as he could remember, Zhang Zhijie had no epilepsy or heart-related diseases in the past. Currently, Zhang Zhijie’s sister has rushed to Indonesia.

According to CNN’s Indonesian program, Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said in a meeting with members of parliament yesterday that if someone suffers a sudden heart attack like Zhang Zhijie, the patient has a chance of survival if effective treatment is given within 4.5 hours.
