where is gymnast Peng Peng Lee?

A lot of people have asked me that question.

The last time I saw her was at the 2008 Canadian Championships.

Click PLAY or watch her Beam on YouTube.

Loaded with personality, well spoken and showing astonishing difficulty at a young age, Peng Peng was one of the great Junior prospects worldwide. And a sought after NCAA recruit. The audience LOVES this girl.

Unfortunately her beam coach, Carol-Angela Orchard, departed to England after the Beijing Olympics. Her club, Sport Seneca, shut down, the kids forced to relocate to a new space, about the same time.

Finally, Peng Peng was diagnosed last year with Spondylolisthesis.

… The good news is that Peng Peng expects to be cleared to start full workouts in March 2010. She’s already morning training at Oakville, coached by Kelly Manjak and the excellent staff there.

Your fans everywhere wish you all the best with a comeback, Peng Peng.
