Hong Kong, China swimmers on Tuesday continued their push for more medals at the Asian Games in Japan, with both Siobhan Haughey and Li Sum-yiu powering into the final of the women's 100m freestyle at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre.

Haughey, who entered her heat off the back of a successful title defence in the women's 200m freestyle on Monday, touched the wall first with a convincing time of 53.60 seconds.

She finished 0.62 seconds ahead of Philippine swimmer Kayla Sanchez, with Li coming third in a time of 55.58 seconds.

Only the top eight swimmers from the heats advance to the final.

The SAR swimmers are due to compete in the final on Tuesday afternoon.
