Badminton player, 17, dies of cardiac arrest after collapsing during game




An "outstanding" 17-year-old Chinese badminton player died of cardiac arrest after collapsing on court during a tournament in Indonesia, officials said on Monday (Jul 1). Zhang Zhijie was suddenly taken ill during a match late Sunday against Japan's Kazuma Kawano at the Asia Junior Championships in Yogyakarta. The score was 11-11 in the first game when Zhang fell to the floor between points. The teenager received treatment at the venue and was rushed to hospital by ambulance, but passed away later that night after repeated efforts to resuscitate him failed. "Medical conclusions ... indicated that the victim experienced sudden cardiac arrest," Broto Happy, spokesman for the Badminton Association of Indonesia (PBSI), told a press conference in Yogyakarta. Zhang's parents were heading to the city to retrieve his body, he said. The spokesman defended the actions of medical staff and local organisers after footage showed what appeared to be a hesitant response to the teenager falling face down on the court.

Emmanuel Adebayo Splurges £10,000 On Moisturizers, Including £5000 Gold Mask with 24-carat flakes of GOLD

While the average person still dreams of a white Christmas, Tottenham forward Emmanuel Adebayor is already enjoying a gold Christmas. Literally.
The Togolese born player recently splurged about £10,000(2.5million) at the Oro Gold store on skin care products laced with 24-carat flakes of GOLD. The products include a golden anti-ageing face mask that costs  £5,000.
A source said: “Emmanuel was sold hook, line and sinker on the stock. An assistant sat him down and gave him demonstrations of all the creams and he lapped it up, walking away with a stash of face creams and anti-wrinkle serums and promising he’d be back again.”
I guess earning about £50,000 per week could result in all sorta weird purchases.
