i Li Leung, president and CEO of USA Gymnastics, and her husband Christopher Smits are selling their Central Park South home for $1.25 million, a slight reduction from its original ask in June. The couple purchased the 800-square-foot one-bedroom residence at the Southmoor House condop in 2015 for $1.23 million after a bidding war.

    Leung, a former gymnast who started training at age 7, had returned to the US with her husband after living abroad for about 10 years. She previously worked for Zhou Marketing and helped establish the NBA in China. Leung later became an executive with the NBA before taking over as president and CEO of USA Gymnastics in 2019.

    The couple bought the residence for its convenient location near work, but now that Leung travels frequently due to her role in gymnastics, they are selling. "I am unable to use the space as much, but know a future buyer will love the iconic location and beautiful interiors," she said.

    The apartment features high ceilings, an open living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a king-sized bedroom with a large walk-in closet. The updated kitchen, bathroom, and floors are also notable details. The 17-story Art Deco building offers amenities like a doorman, gym, laundry room, and bike room.

    The listing broker is McKenzie Ryan of Douglas Elliman.
