Chinese runner dropped by sponsor after riding bike during marathon

A Chinese fitness influencer has been dropped by her sponsor after she apologised for riding a bicycle during the Berlin marathon. Sun Yuanyuan, known as Abeeeer on Chinese social media, had claimed a personal best during the event which was held in September. But an Instagram page dedicated to monitoring inaccurate or misleading race times posted by influencers published a picture which appeared to show Sun on a bicycle between the 35km and and 40km marks.
