Swimmer Siobhan Haughey has added yet another Hong Kong record to her name by beating a 15-year-old mark for the 100 metres breaststroke.
Making an appearance at the city’s Age Group Short Course Swimming Championships at Victoria Park Swimming Pool on Saturday, she broke the record set by Yvette Kong Man-yi at the Fina World Cup in Singapore in 2009.
Haughey clocked a time of one minute, 4.48 seconds to touch the wall first in the 18-and-over age group, slicing 1.44 seconds off Kong’s best.
While Haughey’s strongest races are still freestyle events, she is no stranger to swimming the breaststroke and has swum it frequently in recent months.

She won a bronze medal in the 50m breaststroke at the Asian Games in Hangzhou last September, doing so in another Hong Kong record.
The latest record collected on Saturday was the 10th in the short-course pool for the 26-year-old, who now holds the city’s leading breaststroke times across all distances.
She also holds four freestyle records – at 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m – as well as three other individual medley records at various distances.
Next up for Haughey is the World Aquatics Championships, which run from February 11 to 18 at the Aspire Dome in Doha.
Next month’s trip to Qatar will offer the latest opportunity for Haughey to add a first gold at a long-course global championships to her growing medal collection.
Although she is a three-time world champion in the 25m short-course pool, Haughey is still searching for her first-ever gold in the long-course format, held in the 50m pools used in the Olympics.
Twice a silver medallist at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Haughey had missed the 2022 long-course worlds through injury before collecting her first podium place in the next edition, in Fukuoka last July. However, she had to again settle for the silver, finishing behind Australia’s Mollie O’Callaghan in the 100m freestyle final.
