Siobh\u00e1n Haughey Asian Games golds: wins in 200m and 100m<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, Sept. 22, Haughey moved to the women\u2019s 100-meter freestyle final and again proved difficult to catch, holding off challengers from China and Japan to finish first in 52.45 seconds<\/strong>, official results show. The victory completed back-to-back Asian Games sweeps of the 100 and 200 free for Haughey, who now has golds in both events at consecutive Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the race, Haughey said, “I think I performed well overall, and I am very happy to win with my family watching in person.” She added that she still plans to contest the 50-meter freestyle, and that she will aim to improve on last Games\u2019 silver while keeping expectations measured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haughey also anchored Hong Kong\u2019s 4-by-100-meter freestyle relay, where the team of Kan Cheuk-tung (\u7c21\u7dbd\u6850), Lee Sam-yiu (\u674e\u82af\u7464), and 16-year-old Ma Tsz-ling (\u99ac\u7d2b\u73b2) combined for a strong performance. The quartet finished second to host nation Japan to take a silver medal<\/strong>, official Asian Games results show, marking Hong Kong\u2019s sixth consecutive Asian Games podium finish in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking after the relay, Haughey said she felt a special responsibility shifting from a Games newcomer to a leader for younger teammates, and that standing on the podium with them had meaningful generational significance. The Hong Kong delegation said the haul of two golds and a relay silver has given the team a boost in confidence as the swimming program continues in Nagoya.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
