Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai meets Olympic officials in Beijing
CNN
Olympic officials met with Chinese tennis superstar Peng Shuai over dinner on Saturday, the International Olympic Committee said -- following through on a promise to hold a meeting with the athlete who has been at the center of international concern.
The dinner, held on the sidelines of the Beijing Games, was the first in-person meeting between IOC President Thomas Bach and Peng since the former Olympian alleged she had been pressured into sex by a retired top Chinese Communist Party official -- an explosive allegation she has since appeared to retract.
Bach and Peng were joined at dinner by former Chair of the Athletes' Commission and IOC member Kirsty Coventry, the IOC confirmed in a statement Monday.
