Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, whose personal situation has caused much concern since November, when she accused a former Chinese vice premier of sexual assault, attended an event at the Beijing 2022 Winter Games alongside the president on Tuesday. of the IOC (International Olympic Committee), Thomas Bach.
In the images shown by the official Olympic broadcaster OBS, Peng and Bach talked during the final of the Big Air ski category, in which the Chinese Eileen Gu won the gold medal.
The situation of the former tennis player raises many doubts since she accused on social networks a former leader of the Communist Party of sexual assault, a complaint she denied this Monday (7) in an interview with the French newspaper L’Equipe.
After the accusations, which were quickly erased from Chinese social networks, the former leader of the world doubles ranking disappeared from public life for three weeks, which caused a lot of disquiet. She reappeared on November 21 in a video conference with Thomas Bach.
Since then, each of his few public appearances has been scrutinized in detail, despite his claims that he “never” disappeared and his denial of sexual assault.
On Monday, in an interview with L’Equipe, the tennis player revealed that she had dinner on Saturday (5) with Thomas Bach in the Olympic bubble, in what would have been her first face-to-face meeting with the IOC president since the scandal began.
She also stated that she attended the Olympic curling tournament on Saturday and would like to see figure skating.
