An app integrating sport news, live streaming and marathon registration has recently been developed. Named People Sport, the app was developed by People.cn and aims to encourage users to take exercise and share relevant sport information. It marks another publicity platform for China's sport development, says Zhao Yong, deputy director of the General Administration of Sport. Chinese Olympic diving gold medalist Wu Minxia (above) was named ambassador of the app. Wu says that she wanted to use her influence to help more people to pursue an active, healthy lifestyle. A series of marathons are also planned soon. Users can keep track of the running events and sign up through the app.
