Che qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, after winning a gold medal for the women's 72 kg class at the Asian Taekwondo Qualifying Tournament for Beijing Olympic Games in Vietnam. She competed for the women's heavyweight category (+67 kg), where she first defeated Uzbekistan's Evgeniya Karimova in the preliminary match, with a decisive score of 5–4. A few hours later, she lost the quarterfinal match to Norway's Nina Solheim, with a score of 1–3. Because Solheim advanced further into the final match against Mexico's María del Rosario Espinoza, Che was offered another shot for a bronze medal triumph through the repechage bout, where she was eventually defeated by Egypt's Noha Abd Rabo, with a lethargic performance, at a score of 1–5.[4][5]
