This summer, Pegg hopes to be part of the five member team that Canada will send to the 2012 Summer Olympics. She told International Gymnast Magazine, "I'm not letting the pressure of making the team get to me, because the pressure will always be there. I can't make it go away. 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]

In July, Pegg competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. She helped the Canadian team qualify to the team finals[33] and individually she qualified to the all around final in seventeenth place with a score of 55.657.[34] After qualifications, Pegg said, "I feel so blessed to be here, I still just can’t believe it. Just to have our names announced out there, it kind of left me breathless. Team all-around was our biggest goal, we were really focusing on the team."[35] In the team final, she contributed scores of 14.400 on vault, 13.500 on balance beam, and 13.966 on floor toward the Canadian team's fifth place finish.[36] In the all around final, Pegg placed seventeenth with a score of 55.565.[37]
