Chen Jin ranked fourth in the latest world badminton rankings for men's singles after he won the silver medal in the Asian badminton championship held in Malaysia earlier this year.
China named 639 athletes to contest 38 disciplines of all 28 sports for the Beijing Olympics in a low-profile ceremony last Friday.
Those uprising stars among the Chinese delegation attracted much attention as they are also medalist hopefuls in this Olympics.
