17-year-old Chinese badminton player collapses on court and dies, medical response time decried

A 17-year-old Chinese badminton player died after collapsing during a tournament in Indonesia, sparking outcry over what some on social media lambasted as a delayed medical response. Zhang Zhijie, a singles player, collapsed on the court during a match against Japanese opponent at the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on Sunday, Badminton Asia and the Badminton Association of Indonesia said in a joint statement.

” Video on social media of the match appeared to show Zhang collapse and seize. But it takes about 40 seconds before someone who appeared to be the tournament doctor actually started to tend to him. That delay sparked outrage among viewers and social media users and cast scrutiny on tournament policies for medical emergency scenarios. One X user wrote: “CPR, and AED must be administered ASAP in such cardiac arrest situation. The lack of urgency is appalling. RIP Zhang Zhijie.
