| description | This short report discusses two deaths that occurred on October 20th 2019 during half-marathons in People’s
Republic of China. The two fatal events were reported to be the consequence of sudden cardiac death. In
September 2019, the State Council of China called for nationwide mass sports participation, which raised urgent
operational challenges for event organizers and the sports medicine community in China. This report examined
emergency preparedness experiences of road races from the United States, in the hope that the Chinese medicine
community could continue to improve their ability to respond, and ultimately, to uphold safe sports participation
in China. |
