To commemorate the event and boost the public's participation in exercise, Aug 8, the opening day of the 2008 Games, was set as the country's National Fitness Day in 2009.
On Wednesday, 480 representatives from 16 districts and counties met at the Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium, which was the host stadium of Olympic badminton and rhythmic gymnastics.
