About Chen Xingqiang

Born 1972. Chen Xingqiang is a Chinese amateur wrestler.

Chen Xingqiang (; born September 12, 1972) is a Chinese former amateur freestyle wrestler, who competed in the men's super heavyweight category. He won three medals (a silver and two bronze) in his signature weight division at the Asian Championships (1999 to 2001) and eventually wrestled for the Chinese squad at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. Throughout his sporting career, Chen trained at a local wrestling club in Sichuan Province under his personal coach Bu Long.

Chen qualified for the Chinese wrestling squad in the men's super heavyweight class (130 kg) at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
