Ch'en's current plans are to break the record for the men's decathlon within the year. He also has his eye on the women's heptathlon and men's 400 meter relay records. After these accomplishments, he feels he will be able to enter the 1988 Olympics with a real sense of security.
他目前的進度是在今年內打破男子十項舊紀錄，女子七項、男子四百接力的成績也希望能有所突破，然後再穩穩當當地參加八八年奧運。
