Hong Kong swimmer Siobhan Haughey appears unstoppable. She won two silver medals at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and in 2024, gold at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha. Haughey started swimming at the age of four and trains five to six hours a day in the water. She admits that at one point in her career, she questioned whether all the effort was worth it. In this episode of Listen to Her, Haughey returns to visit her secondary school and swimming club. To mark International Women’s Day, she opens up about her childhood in Hong Kong and how she became a role model for girls and women across generations.

Our 'prime minister' here is known as 'an Taoiseach' which literally means 'Chieftan'.
amazing to see her story, and very right...friends make a sport much much better!
She is Amazing.
Great job
She went to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor! Go Blue!! 💛💙🏊🎓
I will bear in mind that everything is a learning opportunity. 😊
👍👍👍
I am not the best in language but even to my untrained ears she sounds more American than British. Yes I know she spent 4 years at UM but her father is Irish and her mom is local HK. I thought she would speak more British English. But now she sounds more like a college student at Ann Arbor.
