Incidents
editThe tournament was marred with the death of Chinese athlete Zhang Zhijie on 30 June, the third day of the tournament. Zhang was declared dead on 23:20 local time at Hardjolukito Air Force Central Hospital[2] after he collapsed in the middle of the match against Kazuma Kawano, which was part of team event tie between China and Japan.[3][4]
Chinese netizens and the Xinhua News Agency criticized the events leading up to his death after a video of his death showed a medic running towards Zhang, then stopping at the edge of court to wait for the referee to give permission. In response, the Badminton Association of Indonesia announced that they would ask the Badminton World Federation to re-consider the rule requiring medics to wait for permission before attending to players.[5]
