After weeks out of the public’s eye, Chinese sports star Peng Shuai held a 30-minute call with the International Olympic Committee where she assured the group’s President Thomas Bach that she’s safe.
A statement on the call came hours after videos emerged of Peng at a restaurant on Saturday and attending a youth tennis tournament on Sunday where she smiled, waved and signed over-sized tennis balls. Those clips, shared by Chinese state media outlets and commentators, prompted more questions about her well-being.
