Career
Junior
Chen began gymnastics in 2010 at age eight, after being impressed by Yang Yilin's performance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.[6] Chen joined the national team in 2017.[6] She competed at the 2017 Junior Asian Championships held in Bangkok, Thailand from May 16–21. At the Junior Asian Championships, Chen won all-around gold with a score of 55.000. Additionally, she won uneven bars gold (14.150), floor exercise silver (13.200) and balance beam bronze (12.925). She shared the podium with teammate Li Qi for floor and beam; Li was first on both events.

Chen won three gold medals - team, all-around, and balance beam - at the 2018 Asian Games in August. Her all-around score was 55.950, which she achieved by placing first on balance beam and floor, third on uneven bars, and sixth on vault.[8] In the all-around, she shared the podium with teammate Luo Huan, who won silver.[8][9] In event finals, Chen scored 14.600 on balance beam, winning the gold.[8] She placed third in uneven bars qualifications, behind teammates Liu Tingting and Luo Huan, so she was barred from competing in the finals due to the two-per-country rule. She was fifth in the floor exercise finals.[8] She was recognized as "Best Female Athlete at the 2018 Asian Games" in October 2019.[10]
In October at the 2018 Doha World Championships, Chen won a team bronze medal. She was seventh in the all-around, with a score of 54.632.[11]

In October at the 2019 Stuttgart World Championships, Chen and her teammates - Liu Tingting, Tang Xijing, Li Shijia, and Qi Qi - posted the 2nd best team total on the first day of qualifications,[12] but finished fourth in the team competition.[13] This was the first time since 2003 that China did not reach the podium in the team event.[13]
2020
After the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chen expressed her continuing motivation to train.[14]
