Incidents
The tournament was marred by the death of China's Zhang Zhijie on 30 June, the third day of the tournament. Zhang was declared dead on 23:20 local time at Dr. Suhardi Hardjolukito Air Force Central Hospital[2] after he collapsed during a match against Kazuma Kawano of 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]
