According to the "Daily Mail" and other media reports, a 16-year-old Russian player was struck by lightning during daily training in the stadium and is still in a coma.
It happened on July 4th. The hapless player named Ivan Zaborsky (Ivan Zaborsky) had an accident during training that day. He was wearing a metal necklace. Struck by lightning.
A video just recorded the whole process, Ivan trained separately as a goalkeeper and his teammates. Just as Ivan was about to kick the ball towards the goal, he was struck by a sudden flash of lightning and immediately collapsed to the ground, with thick black smoke rising from the scene.
The teammates next to the stadium were terrified. After recovering, the coach and teammates rushed to Ivan. Coach Basov gave him a heart massage and artificial respiration. Then Ivan was transferred to a Moscow family by helicopter. Hospital treatment.
Ivan has been sent to the intensive care unit. The doctor performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for Ivan. His body has suffered severe burns. He is still in a coma and his life and death are uncertain.
"Daily Mail" stated that Ivan wore a metal necklace on his neck, which may be the main reason for being struck by lightning. A scar was left on the player's neck and his lungs were also damaged.
Ivan’s club is the Trudaznamya team in the third tier of Russia. The club’s general manager Mayorov has contacted Ivan’s father. The local health minister is also learning about Ivan's situation, and the goalkeeper of the Russian Super League team Yekaterinburg Ural Horzyul is also cheering for his young counterparts, hoping that he can survive the difficulties.
According to the players present, the training ground was clear and clear, there were no dark clouds, and there was no sign that thunderstorms would occur.
Summer is the season of thunderstorms. Due to its strong current, hot high temperature, strong electromagnetic radiation and violent shock waves and other physical effects, lightning can produce huge damage in an instant and cause lightning disasters. . Must pay attention to lightning protection in summer.
In fact, similar incidents have occurred too many times in international football. On March 10, 2004, Jiang Tao, an 18-year-old player from China, was struck by lightning during training in the Singapore League. He was killed on the spot and died abroad.
On October 24, 1998, a lightning bolt killed all 11 players on the field of Congo Bena Tshadi. The culprit was a natural phenomenon called "stride voltage".
The most recent lightning strike in football occurred in the 2018 South African League. Luyanda Ntshangase, a 21-year-old player of Marizburg United, was electrocuted and fell into a coma. After two months, the rescue failed.
I hope that the 16-year-old Ivan Zaborski will be able to meet the good times and turn the bad.
