Double Silver for Hong Kong Swimmer Siobhan Bernadette Haughey: "In my home, in Hong Kong, many Hongkongers got up early to root for me"

Hong Kong swimmer Siobhan Bernadette Haughey wins silver medal in the women's 100m freestyle.

It is the second medal won by 23-year-old Haughey in 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She broke Asia's and Hong Kong's records with a time of 52.27 seconds.

She is the first Hongkonger to be a double silver Olympian. Speaking of her experience, She said she has enjoyed very much that 100m swim. She believed that 80% of the competition has to do with one's psychology and 20% with the physical strength.

Haughey thanked her fellow Hongkongers at home, "I know in my home, in Hong Kong, many people support me. Despite the time differece between Hong Kong and Japan, many Hongkongers got up early to root for me."

Speaking to the media, Chu thanked Hongkongers for their support and asked the public to continue supporting Hong Kong athletes and anyone who likes to do sport, regardless of their levels and categories.

"Whether they are elite athletes or athletes with potentials, the spectators can hardly witness their hardwork, injuries and difficulties in the long process of training," Chu said.

"The 30 minutes seen by the spectators in a match worthes perhaps 10 years of practices, for one to shine in the field."

Chu reminded his fellow Hongkongers, "Please support Hong Kong athletes, whether they are able-body or not, professional or amateur. Do support anyone who likes doing sport. Do enjoy sport."
