Zhang Zhijie, a 17-year-old Chinese badminton player, died suddenly during a match in Indonesia a few days ago. The outside world suspected that the delay in rescue was involved. The Indonesian Badminton Association said that the cause of his death was cardiac arrest, and said that it would apply to the Badminton World Federation to modify the rules to ensure the safety of athletes. Zhang Zhijie, a Chinese athlete who is regarded as a rising star in badminton, suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed during a match with the Japanese team at the Asian Youth Badminton Championships held in Indonesia on Sunday. He was sent to the hospital for rescue and died. When his teammates received the team championship on Tuesday, they took Zhang Zhijie’s jersey and went on stage to receive the award. There was also an empty chair with Zhang Zhijie’s jersey on the seat of the Chinese team below the stage. The Indonesian Badminton Association later stated that when Zhang Zhijie was sent to the hospital on Sunday evening, he had no breathing and pulse. After nearly three hours of rescue, the hospital believed that he had died at about 9 pm. The Chinese Badminton Association transferred him to another hospital for rescue, but he died at about 11 pm that night. In response to the family’s point that it took nearly a minute for the paramedics to arrive after Zhang Zhijie fell to the ground, the Indonesian Badminton Association explained that the paramedics had to get permission from the referee before they could enter the court, and said that they would submit a written application to the Badminton World Federation to revise the relevant rules so that athletes can receive timely treatment. Xinhua News Agency published a comment saying that the premise of sports is rules, but life first should be the highest rule on the court.
