Career
editEarly years
editChen began learning to skate in 2008.[1]
2017–2018 season
editChen's ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut came in September 2017, in Zagreb, Croatia, where she placed sixteenth. The following month, she finished tenth at a JGP event in Gdańsk, Poland. In December, she stepped onto her first senior national podium, taking bronze at the 2018 Chinese Championships. She qualified to the free skate and finished eighteenth overall at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
2018–2019 season
editMaking her senior international debut, Chen placed sixth at the 2018 CS Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy in early August. She placed fourteenth at the 2019 Four Continents Championships. She placed nineteenth at the 2019 World Junior Championships in early March, and then made her senior World Championship debut, placing nineteenth there as well.
2019–2020 season
editChen made her Grand Prix debut, placing ninth at the 2019 Cup of China and eighth at the 2019 Rostelecom Cup. After taking the silver medal at the Chinese championships, she placed eleventh at the 2020 Four Continents Championships.[2] She was assigned to compete at the 2020 World Championships, but these were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
2020–2021 season
editWith the pandemic continuing to affect international travel, the ISU assigned the Grand Prix based largely on geography. Chen was assigned to the 2020 Cup of China, which she won over the other Chinese ladies present by almost 40 points.[4] Competing at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, Chen placed twenty-first.[5] Her result qualified a berth for China at its home Winter Olympics in Beijing.[6]
2021–2022 season
editStruggling with a back injury and a sprained ankle, Chen had to withdraw from the 2021 CS Asian Open Trophy and the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia.[7]
Ultimately, the Chinese Olympic Committee awarded the sole Olympic women's singles spot to Zhu Yi. This decision sparked criticism from Chinese figure skating fans as many of them believed Chen to be a better choice.[8][9]
Following the decision, Chen posted on her Weibo that although she felt regretful over having missed out on being selected to go to the Olympics, she would continue to work hard.[7]
2022–2023 season
editChen's only major competition for the season was the 2022 Chinese Championships, where she placed sixth.[10]
2023–2024 season
editReturning to international competition for the first time in two years, Chen competed at the 2023 Shanghai Trophy, where she finished sixth. She went on to compete at the 2023 Cup of China, where she placed eighth.[11][10]
At the 2024 Chinese Championships, Chen placed tenth. Despite this, she was selected to compete at the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai, where she would finish thirteenth.[11][10]
Chen would then end the season by finishing fourteenth at the 2024 National Winter Games.[10]
2024–2025 season
editChen began the season by competing at the 2024 Shanghai Trophy, where she placed sixth.[10]
