Siobhán Bernadette Haughey SBS (/ʃəˈvɔːn ˈhɔːhi/ shə-VAWN HAW-hee; Chinese: 何詩蓓; Cantonese pronunciation: ; born 31 October 1997) is a Hong Kong competitive swimmer. She became the first Hong Kong swimmer to win an Olympic medal and the first Hong Kong athlete to win two Olympic medals in any sport, after winning silver in the women's 200-metre freestyle and women's 100-metre freestyle during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. She later became the only Hong Kong athlete to win four Olympic medals after winning bronze in the women's 200-metre freestyle and the women's 100-metre freestyle at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. She also won the first swimming gold for Hong Kong in 2022 Asian Games, and became the most decorated Hong Kong athlete of all time in one single edition of Asian Games with two golds, one silver, and three bronzes.

Haughey is Hong Kong's first World Record holding swimmer after breaking the 200-metre freestyle record at the 2021 World Short Course Championships, as well as the first ever Short Course World and Junior World champion. She has registered 24 Hong Kong records and 6 Asian records in her career (currently holding 23 and 5 records), and in total she has broken Hong Kong and Asian records for 98 times and 23 times respectively. She represents Energy Standard in the International Swimming League.

Personal life

Haughey was born in Hong Kong on 31 October 1997, shortly after the territory's handover, to an Irish father, Darach, and a Chinese (Hong Kong) mother, Canjo. She was baptised a Catholic at St. Margaret's Church. Her elder sister, Aisling, is also a swimmer and represented Hong Kong in amateur events. Her paternal granduncle was former Irish Taoiseach Charles Haughey. Siobhán attended St. Paul's Primary Catholic School and St. Paul's Secondary School. She graduated from the University of Michigan in 2019, majoring in psychology.

Swimming career

Haughey won gold and broke the meet record in the 100-metre freestyle at the World Junior Championships in 2013; she was the first Hong Kong swimmer to medal at the event. She won two silver and five bronze medals in 2013 East Asian Games, making her the most decorated Hong Kong athlete all time in a single East Asian Games.

In 2014, she gained another two silver medals in the women's 100-metre freestyle and 200m individual medley at the Youth Olympics, again setting history for the Hong Kong swimming team. In 2016, she was named Swimmer of the Championships at the Big Ten Conference championships and helped lead the Michigan Wolverines swimming and diving team to the women's team title for the first time since 2004.

In 2015, Haughey qualified for the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro as the first Hong Kong swimmer to make the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and was selected to represent Hong Kong in the women's 200-metre freestyle and 200-metre individual medley. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, Haughey won her heat in the 200-metre freestyle, but finished sixth in the semi-finals and thirteenth overall. Despite failing to advance to the finals, she still made history as the first Hong Kong swimmer to advance beyond the heats in the modern Olympics era.

In 2017, Haughey participated in the World Aquatics Championships and finished 5th in women's 200-metre freestyle. This marked the first time Hong Kong had a swimmer in a final at the long course World Championships meet. A few weeks later in the Taipei Universiade, she won gold in both the women's 100-metre freestyle and 200-metre freestyle.

In 2019, Haughey stepped up again in the World Aquatics Championships and raced her fastest time ever in the 200-metre freestyle event, finishing with a time of 1:54.98 to fall just 2 shy of the podium and finishing fourth. As such, Haughey became the first woman ever from Hong Kong to hit a sub-1:55 200m freestyle time. Later at the inaugural International Swimming League season, she continued her onslaught of the Hong Kong National Records in swimming, setting new Asian records in both the 200-metre freestyle and 50-metre breaststroke.

Haughey represented Hong Kong again at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, where she won silver in the 200-metre freestyle and 100-metre freestyle. She became the first Hong Kong swimmer to win an Olympic medal and the first Hong Kong athlete to win two Olympic medals in any sport. In the 2021 International Swimming League season, she went undefeated in the 200-metre freestyle event throughout the season and set a new Asian record in the 100-metre freestyle. Additionally, she finished second in the ISL season MVP standings, 43.5 points behind Energy Standard teammate Sarah Sjöström and 64.5 points ahead of third place.

Later in the year, she followed up her performance at the Tokyo Olympics and the ISL with a historic gold medal in the 200-metre freestyle at the 2021 Short Course World Championships. In the process, she broke Sarah Sjöström's 2017 world record by 0.12 seconds and became the first Hong Kong swimmer to win a medal at the Short Course Worlds, plus the first world record holder representing Hong Kong. She won her second gold medal two days later in the 100-metre freestyle event, plus a bronze medal in the 400-metre freestyle.

At the 2022 Short Course World Championships, Haughey successfully defended her title in the 200-metre freestyle. She added a silver medal to her tally with a runner-up finish in the 100-metre freestyle, trailing behind Emma McKeon.

At the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, Haughey captured a silver medal in the 100-metre freestyle – the first Hong Kong swimmer to finish on the podium at the World Aquatics Championships.

At the 2022 Asian Games, Haughey won a pair of gold medals in the 100-metre and 200-metre freestyle, together with a silver medal in the 50-metre freestyle and bronze in the 50-metre breaststroke, 4x100 metre medley relay and 4x100 metre freestyle relay. During the process she broke the Asian record for the 100-metre freestyle in 52.17, and broke 7 Hong Kong records in total, including all 3 relay events.

At the 2024 World Aquatics Championships, Haughey captured a bronze medal in the 100-metre breaststroke, behind China's Tang Qianting and Dutch swimmer Tes Schouten. On 14 February 2024, She captured her first world long-course gold medal in the 200-metre freestyle, becoming the first Hong Kong swimmer to finish first at the World Aquatics Championships. Haughey claimed another silver medal in 100-metre freestyle two days later.

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Haughey won two bronze medals in the women's 200m freestyle and the women's 100m freestyle. This makes her the only Hong Kong athlete to have won four Olympic medals. She finished with a time of 1:54.55 in the 200m freestyle, and 52.33 in the 100m freestyle. During the opening ceremony, Haughey and Cheung Ka-long were the flag bearers for the Hong Kong Olympic team.
