Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey claimed another gold medal at the Asian Games on Tuesday, winning the women's 100 meters freestyle event at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre. Haughey recorded a time of 52.45 seconds, setting both the Asian and Games records in the process. Her national team teammates Yu Yiting and Cheng Yujie placed second and third respectively, while her teammate Li Sum-yiu finished seventh.
After her victory, Haughey expressed her satisfaction with her performance to a TV interviewer, mentioning that it was particularly meaningful to have her parents in attendance for the first time due to the lack of spectators during the Tokyo Olympics. She emphasized how grateful she was to have her parents and Hong Kong supporters present for this significant achievement, which marked her third medal at the Games, following her gold in the 200 meters freestyle and silver in the women's 4x100 meters freestyle relay. Haughey is set to return to the pool on Thursday for the women's 50 meters freestyle event.
