Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai, who disappeared from public view after accusing a high-ranking member of the Chinese government of sexual assault, made two personal appearances over the weekend in Beijing, dining with the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and granting an interview to a French media outlet.
What Happened: The Wall Street Journal reported that Peng met with IOC President Thomas Bach and Kirsty Coventry, an IOC member from Zimbabwe, for dinner on Saturday at the Olympic Club in Beijing. The IOC issued a statement that the conversation focused on Olympic experiences and not the circumstances that made Peng the center of international attention.
