2008 Summer Olympics
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing Cheng finished his ranking round with a total of 660 points. This gave him the 26th seed for the final competition bracket in which he faced Matthew Gray of Australia in the first round, 109–101. With a win over Matti Hatava of Finland (110–103) he qualified for the third round and there he faced Lee Chang-Hwan of South Korea. Both archers scored 105 points in the regular match and had to go to an extra round. Here Cheng advanced with 19 points, while Lee hit 18 points. In the quarter finals Cheng was unable to beat Bair Badënov of Russia (109–104). Badënov went on to win the bronze medal.{{cite web |url=http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/7/230127.shtml |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080813080420/http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/7/230127.shtml |archivedate=2008-08-13 |url-status=dead |title=Athlete biography: Cheng Chu Sian |website=Beijing2008.cn |accessdate=19 August 2008}}
