The team members responded quickly, brought the necessary equipment to deal with it as soon as possible, and transferred the injured athlete to the medical station for emergency treatment at the fastest speed to alleviate the athlete's injury, buying time for follow-up treatment. After the treatment, the foreign sports teams rushed to the medical station to express their gratitude for the treatment.
