"I was hoping to win a medal because I'm very competive. When I won this silver, I was very happy but I kept really clam. The Rio Olympics have been a totally different experience. During the Games I was up and down, but I finally won this medal because I handled the pressure," said Chen.

"Actully, I have not made any plans for the next Olympics, but when I finished my event, I thought it would be possible so I will try to make it to Tokyo 2020.

"I prefer to have fun when sailing,  I would like to develop extreme sailing if possible."

"My dream is to be like Guo Chuan who has sailed around the world. But practically speaking, I could try to make an extreme sailing competition.

"I love sailing because it gives me a lot of happiness with a different lifestyle. I like speed and extreme sailing is a fast and furious sport.
