The new regulations from the Badminton World Federation allow doctors to enter without instructions

On June 30 this year, 17-year-old national youth badminton team athlete Zhang Zhijie suddenly collapsed while participating in the Asian Youth Badminton Championships in Indonesia. Despite the rescue efforts of the event organizing committee's medical department and local hospitals, he was pronounced dead, which has drawn attention. On November 17, reporters learned that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Council held a meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to adjust some current badminton competition rules, including allowing doctors to enter the court without referee instructions. On November 17, reporters noted that the new competition rules have been published on the BWF official website, where the chapter on new medical regulations clearly states that in cases of suspected cardiac arrest or suspected concussion with fainting, event doctors can directly enter the court for intervention without referee instructions
