Hong Kong star Siobhan Haughey wraps up Mare Nostrum Swim Tour with gold and silver medals
Swimmer will finish off European leg of her ‘race as training’ preparations for Asian Games in late June before returning to Hong Kong
Swimmer Siobhan Haughey has underlined her strong form again as she continued her build-up to the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in September while keeping the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in view.
The Hong Kong star finished the nine-day Mare Nostrum Swim Tour in Europe in May – a key part of her preparation – with four gold medals and four silvers across three legs in Monaco, Canet-en-Roussillon and Barcelona.
On the final day in Barcelona on Sunday, Haughey won the 200m freestyle in one minute, 55.22 seconds, three days after breaking the meet record in Canet with 1:54.13, a time faster than the mark she swam to win Olympic bronze in Paris.
The Hongkonger also took silver in the 50m freestyle in 24.45 seconds, behind the Netherlands’ Milou van Wijk, who swam a 24.33.
