Hong Kong have day to remember as Siobhan Haughey wins fourth medal at ‘final Asian Games’

Swimmer says her body had sent ’signals’ this should be her last Games as rowers bring in four medals, wushu wins first, fencing wins bronze

Rower Chiu Hin-chun grabbed the gold he needed to complete his set of Asian Games medals, Siobhan Haughey won her fourth of the week, and there was a wushu first as Hong Kong’s athletes had a Thursday to remember in Japan.

Chiu’s triumph in the lightweight men’s singles sculls was one of four medals the city’s rowers brought home in Nagoya and Tokyo.

Winne Hung Wing-yan took silver in the women’s lightweight single sculls, while there was bronze for women’s pair Cheung Yuen-shan and Leung Wing-wun in the lightweight double, and for Lam Sun-tung and Chan Tik-lun in the men’s version.

Away from the water, wushu athlete Leung Yu-hong won silver in men’s sanda, while fencer Fong Hoi-sun earned bronze in the men’s individual épée. The haul took Hong Kong’s overall tally to 23, made up of four gold, 10 silver and nine bronze.
