Winnie Hung Wing-yan grabbed silver in the lightweight women’s single sculls at the Asian Games on Thursday, starting a day that could well finish with Siobhan Haughey adding a third gold to her collection.

Having finished second in her heat the previous day, Hung was in the leading position and held an almost two-second advantage at halfway point of the 2,000 metres course at Nagaragawa International Regatta Course.

The 27-year-old was caught by Fatemeh Mojallaltopraghghale of Iran - who also beat Hung to second in the heat - and trailed by just over two seconds with 500m to go. The gap between the two grew larger and extended to just under four seconds.

Still, Hung managed a silver medal, and her first at the regional games, with a time of seven minutes, 28.54 seconds. Mojallaltopraghghale claimed gold in 7:24.57, while Thai rower Parisa Chaempudsa finished third in 7:40.61.
