Chen Wen-huei (Chinese: 陳玟卉; pinyin: Chén Wénhuì, born 23 February 1997) is a Taiwanese weightlifter.

Early life

Chen was raised in New Taipei City.[1] She took up weightlifting in her second year of middle school. Originally she trained as a triathlete but disliked running, and a weightlifting coach convinced her to switch sports. She chose weightlifting because the training facility had air conditioning, provided food, and had shorter training sessions.[2]

Career

At the 2017 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, Chen finished in fifth place in the women's 58 kg event.[3]

In 2019, she competed in the women's 64 kg event at the World Weightlifting Championships held in Pattaya, Thailand.

She represented Chinese Taipei at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and she won the bronze medal in the women's 64 kg event.[4] In December 2021, she won the silver medal in the women's 64 kg event at the World Weightlifting Championships held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.[5][6]

In 2024, she competed in the women's 71 kg event at the Summer Olympics held in Paris, France.[7] She lifted 236 kg in total and placed sixth.
