Chinese player Zhang Zhijie passed away after collapsing on court during the Asian Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Badminton Asia expressed condolences on Monday after the death of 17-year-old player.
In a joint statement, Indonesia's Badminton Association (PBSI) and Badminton Asia shared that Zhang collapsed during a match against Japan. Zhang died at 11:20 pm after being taken to a hospital in an ambulance.
The score was 11-11 in the first game when Zhang fell to the floor.
"Badminton Asia, PBSI and the organising committee are immensely saddened and expressed their deepest condolences to Zhang's parents, family and Chinese Badminton Association," they said.
Indonesia's National Olympic Committee also offered their deepest condolences on Zhang's death.
China's badminton association told state-backed China Newsweek on Monday that they were in communication with the Indonesian side about concerns over whether Zhang had received timely medical attention.
India's P.V. Sindhu, who has won Olympic silver and bronze, called Zhang's death "absolutely heartbreaking".
"I offer my deepest condolences to Zhang's family during this devastating time," Sindhu, who was not at the tournament, wrote on X.
"The world has lost a remarkable talent today."
