I can only continue to focus the way I have been over the years, such as being in the best shape of my career and pushing myself to my highest level in the gym. I have been working really hard in the gym trying to upgrade all my routines. I'm confident that my hard work will pay off, and I will be able to help out my team to the best of my ability."[22]

At the end of June, Pegg was one of the twelve gymnasts chosen to compete at the Final Olympic Selection meet in Gatineau, Canada[29] On the first day of competition she placed sixth in the all around with a score of 52.050.[30] Based on her performances here and at the Canadian Championships she was selected to the five member Olympic team.[31] She said, "The first day was a little shaky because of all the pressure but this is what we’ve been working for our whole lives. We do what we love and what we need to do to get through it all."[32]
