A reversal in the case of a missing tennis player! VIDEO It’s okay, it’s coming from China: Such shots of the world are not enough – Športky.sk

BEIJING – Miss Chinese tennis player Shuai Pcheng was due to reappear in public at a youth tournament in Beijing on Sunday, according to photos released by the organizers. Before that, videos appeared on which the former doubles world unit was supposed to be in a restaurant, and they were posted on the social network by the editor of the party newspaper Global Times, Hu Xi’an.

In early November, Shuai Pcheng accused the influential Chinese politician and former Deputy Prime Minister Kao-lio of sexual assault, and no one in the tennis community has heard of her since. The contribution of the organizers of the China Open on the social network Weibo did not mention the disappearance of the player or her accusations. In the photos, Pcheng stood by the court and signed the memorial tennis balls for the children. He reported on Twitter that he was due to appear “soon” in public.

The disappearance of Pcheng and the silence of the Chinese government in response to requests for information have prompted calls for a boycott of next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing. At the same time, the WTA management has threatened to withdraw its events from the country if the player’s safety is not ensured.

Discussions about the disappearance of Pcheng were deleted from the website and its spokesman denied knowing about the incident, the AP agency reported.

The WTA director doesn’t trust the videos

WTA CEO Steve Simon is pleased to see the player at least in a video published by Xi’an, but he is still not convinced that Pcheng is safe. “It is positive to see her, but it is still uncertain whether she is single and can make decisions and act without pressure, for herself and without outside interference. This video is insufficient. Our relationship with China is at a crossroads.” stressed.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not comment on the disappearance of the three-time Olympic participant. The new head of the IOC Athletes’ Commission, Emma Terh, said in a statement on Saturday that they supported a “quiet diplomatic approach used by the IOC.” The AP agency informed.
