Career

edit

Badminton was the family sport and all of Chen's family played. She excelled in her high school years and represented her school in both junior and senior Badminton events. She then turned professional and made her International debut for badminton in 2012.

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Chen made her Olympic debut representing Australia. Her opponents were Thailand's Porntip Buranaprasertsuk and Mauritius' Kate Foo Kune and in spite of a good contest she lost to both.[6]

In 2017, Chen won the Casa Del Sole Nouméa International. In 2018, she represented Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.[2] In early 2020, she won the women's singles titles at the Oceania Championships in six consecutive years from 2015 to 2020.[7]

Chen played at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and was knocked out in the group stage after finishing second in her group.[8]
