British Olympic boxing coach had a heart attack in Paris and was saved by Team GB staff.

During the Paris Olympics, there was a moment of fear and panic when Tulkin Kilichev, the head coach of the Uzbekistan boxing team, suffered a serious cardiac arrest. It was a moment of celebration turned into a moment of chaos as Kilichev was cheering on the gold medal win of his fighter Hasanboy Dusmatov at Roland Garros.

Fortunately, the situation was not left unattended as members of the Team GB, including boxing doctor Harj Singh and physio Robbie Lillis, were present in the warm-up area. They responded quickly to the call for help and were able to intervene just in time to save Kilichev's life.

The two medical professionals performed CPR and used a defibrillator to revive Kilichev's heart before he was handed over to a medical team and taken to the hospital. Thanks to their quick actions, Kilichev is now in a stable condition and on the road to recovery.

Lillis recounted the moment when they heard the cries for help amidst the celebrations and how Harj was the first to respond. He followed with the emergency trauma bag and together, they were able to perform life-saving procedures on Kilichev. It was a distressing and challenging situation, especially with the presence of other coaches, but they were able to clear the area and focus on saving Kilichev's life.

Reflecting on the incident, Lillis shared that he couldn't sleep that night due to the adrenaline rush. But he also sees it as a memorable experience and is grateful that he was able to play a part in saving Kilichev's life. He even received a heartwarming comment from his mother, saying that it was his "Olympic moment."

For Singh, the incident was a reminder of the fragility of life and how quickly things can change. He hopes to visit Kilichev in the hospital before leaving Paris, which he believes would be an emotional experience for both of them.

In the end, the heroic actions of Singh and Lillis saved Kilichev's life and showed the importance of having trained medical professionals present at sporting events. It was a moment that will not be forgotten, and a reminder to cherish every moment and be grateful for those who are there to help in times of need.
