Swimming career
Chen has represented his country in several international sporting events. He finished fourth in the final of the 200 m breaststroke at the 2001 East Asian Games in Osaka, Japan. He won two gold medals in 100 and 200 m breaststroke at the 2002 ISF World Gymnasiade in Caen, France.[3] In the same year, he was decorated with Guo-Guang Sports Medal from the Executive Yuan for his achievement in World Gymnasiade. Chen is an eighth-place finalist in the 100 m breaststroke at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea, having been disqualified for an illegal dolphin kick.[4]
Chen qualified for the men's 100 m breaststroke at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by achieving a FINA B-standard of 1:04.66 from the National University Games in Taipei.[5] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including 15-year-old Nguyen Huu Viet of Vietnam. He edged out New Zealand's Ben Labowitch to take a second seed by five hundredths of a second (0.05), posting his lifetime best of 1:03.94. Chen failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed thirty-fifth overall out of 60 swimmers on the first day of preliminaries.[6][7]
