## Career

### 2020

After competitive table tennis resumed following the pandemic, Chen swept the world cup, ITTF pro tour finals, and 2020 All China National Championships.[7]

### 2021

In May, Chen was selected to represent China in the women's singles and team event at the [Tokyo Olympics](/source/2020_Summer_Olympics). Chen won the first leg of the Chinese Olympic Scrimmage but lost to [Wang Manyu](/source/Wang_Manyu) in the finals of the second leg.[7] Chen again lost to Wang in a closed-door scrimmage in June.[8]

In an interview in July, Chen revealed that she had been in close contact with [Ma Lin](/source/Ma_Lin_(table_tennis)) and [Li Xiaoxia](/source/Li_Xiaoxia) regarding mental preparations for the Tokyo Olympics.[9]

At the [2020 Summer Olympics](/source/2020_Summer_Olympics), Chen competed in the [women's singles](/source/Table_tennis_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_singles) event, winning her semifinals match against Singapore's [Yu Mengyu](/source/Yu_Mengyu) 4–0 and her quarterfinals match against Hong Kong's [Doo Hoi Kem](/source/Doo_Hoi_Kem) 4–2 after trailing 2–0.[10] In the finals match, she defeated compatriot [Sun Yingsha](/source/Sun_Yingsha) 4–2 to win the gold medal.[11] After the match, Chen noted that both she and Sun were both very nervous but played okay, and that Chen's extra experience helped push her over the top.[12] In the [women's team](/source/Table_tennis_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_team) event, Chen, along with [Sun Yingsha](/source/Sun_Yingsha) and [Wang Manyu](/source/Wang_Manyu), defeated Japan 3–0 in the finals to win the gold medal, continuing China's undefeated streak in the event.[13][14]

In August 2021, Chen remarked that the level of play at the China National Games was harder than the Olympics.[15] At the [National Games of China](/source/2021_National_Games_of_China) in September, Chen placed fourth, but her bronze-medal-match opponent [Liu Shiwen](/source/Liu_Shiwen) remarked that Chen was injured and playing far below her normal level.[16]

### 2024

On 3 August 2024, Chen Meng won the gold medal in the women's singles final at the Paris Olympics, defeating Sun Yingsha 4–2.[17] On 10 August, she helped secure the women's team title alongside her teammates, earning the People's Republic of China its 300th gold medal at the Summer Olympics.[18]
