Siobhan Haughey's remarkable achievements: A look at her Olympic success

Hong Kong's swimmer Siobhan Bernadette Haughey won a bronze medal in the women's 200-meter freestyle final at the Paris Olympics at a time of 1:54.55.

This achievement marks her consecutive appearance on the podium for two Olympics, accumulating a total of three Olympic medals, the most by any athlete from Hong Kong.

Siobhan is set to compete in the 100-meter freestyle, aiming for her fourth Olympic medal.

In the semifinals held today (July 31) at 2:30 AM Hong Kong time, Hoh raced in the fourth lane of the first heat, finishing first in her group with a time of 52.64 seconds, successfully advancing to the final scheduled for tomorrow (August 1) at 2:30 AM, with hopes of adding another medal for Hong Kong.

In recent years, Hoh has excelled in swimming, winning gold medals in the women's 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou. She also secured silver medals in the women's 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
