Hong Kong, China swimmers Siobhan Haughey and Ian Ho have won silver medals on the first day of the second leg of 2025 Mare Nostrum Swimming Tour in Barcelona.

In preliminary races, Haughey finished in 55.18 seconds in the 100m freestyle to qualify for the finals with the second best time but failed to make it to the 100m breaststroke finals by logging 1 minute 8.74 seconds to finish only 10th overall.

The SAR swimming star improved on her time in the 100m freestyle final, finishing in 53.88 seconds to earn silver behind the Netherlands’ Milou van Wijk.

In the men's 50m freestyle heats, Ho clocked 22.35 seconds, qualifying second overall among 76 swimmers – just 0.16 seconds behind the top-seeded Abdelrahman Elaraby of Egypt.

Like Haughey, Ho too swam faster in the finals but his 22.15 seconds only got him a silver behind Elaraby's winning time of 21.94 seconds.

In the first leg in Monaco, Haughey dominated with double gold in the women's 100m and 200m freestyle, while Adam Chillingworth secured silver in the men's 200m breaststroke.
