Christian Eriksen returns to pitch where he suffered cardiac arrest

Published

Footballing hero Christian Eriksen will make an extraordinary return to play on the pitch he almost lost his life on

 

The Danish mid-fielder suffered a cardiac arrest on the field while playing in the Euro 2020 competition in Copenhagen. It was a moment that shocked the world when the 30-year-old collapsed mid-game.

The stadium was silent, and viewers at home were in shock, while millions prayed for his wellbeing. The medical team then performed life-saving CPR, with his teammates circling around for privacy.

Now, just 290 days after the horrifying moment, Eriksen will return to the field where it all happened.

He will play at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen against Serbia. He has high hopes that this will give fans a new and happier memory of him at the stadium.

Eriksen has been fitted with a type of pacemaker but says his heart is not an obstacle and he says he has his eyes set on big goals.

Emotional debut

While this will be Eriksen’s return to the emotional pitch where he suffered a cardiac arrest it’s not his first match back on the international stage.

He played the Netherlands in Amsterdam, where Denmark flexed their muscles, winning 4-2 in remarkable fashion.

Denmark has its eyes on the World Cup in Qatar later this year, after they dominated in their qualifying group.

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
