The world of badminton was sent into a state of shock as Chinese teenage Zhang Zhi Jie met his untimely demise at the young age of 17 years after crashing to the ground during the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Badminton Asia confirmed the tragedy and sent their respects to the departed in a social media post.

Indian ace shuttler PV Sindhu was one amongst many to send her condolences to Zhi’s kith and kin following the horrendous tragedy.

Sindhu wrote, “Absolutely heartbreaking news coming from the Junior Asian Badminton Championships about the loss of young badminton player Zhang Zhi Jie. I offer my deepest condolences to Zhang’s family during this devastating time. The world has lost a remarkable talent today.”
