Mother:
With a name like Siobhan Bernadette Haughey there was bound to be a strong Irish connection,
and indeed that soon revealed itself after Haughey won a silver medal for Hong Kong in the women’s 200m freestyle final at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre on Wednesday – a first medal for the Chinese territory in Olympic swimming history.
A grand-niece of the late Charles Haughey,
the former Fianna Fáil leader who served three terms as Taoiseach, the 23-year-old Haughey was born in Hong Kong, her father Darach working there in banking, her mother Canjo being a native of Hong Kong.

I learnt to speak Cantonese since I was a baby, I watched the same TV shows, and read the same Chinese books as my classmates, so I never saw myself as being “different” in a local school. Sometimes I did struggle with Chinese a little bit, or realised that my family doesn’t follow certain Chinese traditions that my friends’ families would, but for the most part I think I’m pretty similar to my friends in school.
Swimmer:
Siobhan Haughey looked at the board and a huge smile opened up across her face.
She isn’t always the most outwardly emotional in the water, but this was a race like none other in her stellar career.
This one was historic.
Haughey finished second in the 200 freestyle to claim the first medal in Hong Kong swimming history.
