Born in 1991 in north China's Hebei Province, Chen have made steady progress in the past two years, with a personal best of 67.03 meters. Having missed her initial attempt because of a foul, Chen improved in the next five throws, and finished with 64.25 meters, her personal best this season. That proved to be enough for a spot on the podium. Chen was followed by her compatriot Feng Bin, who made it 63.87 meters.
