She also qualified to represent Hong Kong at the 2004 Olympics in the marathon through a 2:35 finish in the 2004 Salt Lake City Marathon – six months after becoming a mother,[2] but was unable to participate as she fractured her foot, requiring surgery.[3]
Chan began running aged nine, entering an organised race without any training, in an effort to beat her elder sister Amanda, placing in the top 10 against the older field.[2]
Chan has a bachelor's degree in Food Science (2000) and a master's in Exercise Physiology (2011), both from Brigham Young University in the United States.[6]
In August 2000, she married American Brent Roper, a former Mormon missionary in Hong Kong. They have three children, including son Skyler Roper, born 2003, who successfully represents his high school (Brandeis HS) at running. Chan and her family now live in the US, where she is a professional athletics coach.[7][2][3]
