In fact, we can also refer to the practices of foreign teams for the concerns raised by this incident. For example, many of the badminton players of the Chinese Taipei team are sponsored by airlines and are arranged to fly in business class every time they go out to compete. This allows the players to have better rest to cope with the competition, and can also flexibly handle changes in air tickets due to the progress of the competition. It is understood that the Hong Kong badminton team’s air tickets are currently booked by the Hong Kong Sports Institute through a travel agency. Athletes usually depart in economy class. However, if the luggage is overweight, the cost will be borne by the athletes themselves. After the incident, the sports institute can also follow the example of foreign teams and cooperate with airlines, so that athletes can have less worries before and after the game, and can have better rest before and after the game to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
