"Actually, I think I can do better today. I have to work ever harder to compete for the World Championship this year. That's the real game, with all the best athletes around the world," she said.
Ye Zhennan, the team manager of China spoke highly of Chen's performance, but played down the prospect of the rising star.
"We are here to gain more experiences from international competitions. The performances of the DPRK team is very impressive and Japan hasn't sent their best squad here. So, we should have a clear mind on the victory," he said.
"If Chen wanna survive and thrive in the World Championship this year and the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, she has to improve skills on vault and she must prepare for a more difficult routine," he added.
Another most watched athlete on the stage is Uzbekistan's 43-year-old legend Oksana Chusovitina. When Chen was born in 2002, Chusovitina was a mother of a young son who was diagnosed with leukemia the same year. Before that she had won five world medals and an Olympic gold.
Chusovitina, also with seven Asian Games medals in hand, including two golds in vault and floor exercise at the 2002 Busan Games, proved unstoppable in Jakarta.
She played for all four disciplines and was qualified into the final of vault, her key strength, by finishing the third among 22 athletes.
"I will not stop, and Tokyo is where I'm heading for," she said.
