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.
Haughey’s total from the three-leg tour included three 200m freestyle victories and one 50m freestyle win, plus three 100m freestyle silvers and one in the 50m freestyle.
The 28-year-old has used a race-heavy schedule as part of her “race as training” approach this season, with European meets from April to June forming the core of her build-up to the Games in Japan.
