'Flying fish' lands two more medals for HK

Hong Kong's "flying fish" Siobhan Haughey won her second bronze of the Paris Games on Thursday, this time in the women's 100m freestyle, becoming the first athlete from the region to clinch four Olympic medals. It also takes the total number of medals won so far by Hong Kong, China, at this summer's Olympics to four.

Its first two were individual gold medals in fencing — won by Vivian Kong Man-wai in the women's epee, and Edgar Cheung Ka-long in the men's foil — followed by Haughey's bronzes in the 200m and 100m freestyle.

In the 100m freestyle final, Haughey finished the first 50 meters in 25.09 sec, putting her in second place, but dropped back to third, taking the bronze in a time of 52.33 sec.
