Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey on Sunday won another gold at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Budapest, this time in the 100 metres freestyle event.

Haughey's winning time was 52.24 seconds, more than a second ahead of Sweden's Sarah Sjoestroem, who took silver. Marrit Steenbergen of the Netherlands took bronze.

It's Haughey's third medal of the games. On Saturday, she won the 200 metres freestyle event in a World Cup record time of 1:54.08, and on Friday she took silver in the 50 metres freestyle.

Her victory means Hong Kong are now ranked ninth out of 20 teams in the medals table.

Australia tops the table, followed by China.
