IOC President Bach holds video conference with Peng Shuai

The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, held a video call on Sunday with Peng Shuai, who has been missing since the beginning of November. She explained that she is safe and well, living at her home in Beijing, but would like to have her privacy respected at this time. Bach was accompanied by the IOC Athletes’ Commission chair, Emma Terho, and the IOC member in China, Li Lingwei. The IOC’s website shows Peng smiling on a screen in front of several different cuddly toys.
