International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach will meet Chinese tennis champion Peng Shuai during the Beijing Winter Games, the Olympic institution said on Thursday (January 27th). In a statement to AFP, an IOC spokesperson said he had been in contact with her on several occasions, and again last week. The player ” said he was happy to meet IOC President Thomas Bach and Athletes’ Commission Chair Emma Terho “, he reported. The former doubles champion at Roland-Garros accused a former Chinese leader in early November 2021 of forcing her to have sex during a relationship that lasted several years. Her disappearance then caused concern in the world of tennis, until she spoke by videoconference with Mr. Bach.
