Xue Chen (Chinese: 薛晨, born February 18, 1989) is a Chinese female beach volleyball player, measuring 6'3" or 191 cm in height. Her hometown is Fuzhou, Fujian, but she trains in Sanya, Hainan. She has also trained in California under coach Dane Selznick.
She began playing basketball as a child, but disliked the physical contact of that sport. She then played indoor volleyball from the age of 10 to 13 before settling into beach volleyball.[1] She began training for her sports career in 2000 at the Fu Zhou Sports Training School. In 2002, she attended the Athletic Sports College of Fu Zhou and became a member of the Chinese National Beach Volleyball team. Xue then made her SWATCH-FIVB World Tour debut in 2005, playing in two events with You Wenhui and winning the FIVB Top Rookie award for 2006.[2]
Later in 2006, Xue partnered with Zhang Xi to win the gold medal in the women's team competition at the 2006 Asian Games. The pair also won the bronze medal in women's beach volleyball at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
