Hong Kong swimmer Siobhan Haughey was in electrifying form during match six of the International Swimming League (ISL) on Sunday night when she broke her own Asian 100m freestyle record to help Energy Standard to the top of the leader board after day one.
Haughey led off the 4x100m free relay in a breathtaking 51.14 seconds, the sixth fastest time in history, as she stepped up in the absence of the injured Sarah Sjostrom to lead her club’s efforts in Hungary and shattered her own Asian record of 51.38 in the process.
The world record in the 100m free is 50.25.

Later, Haughey returned to action in the 400m freestyle and again came out on top to secure her team’s eighth win of the day.
It was the 23-year-old’s first win of the season in the 400m free and it handed her team a comfortable 38-point lead at the top of the standings after day one of the two-day match.
The ISL is a professional swimming league that was established last year. It is currently in its second season.
