Paris Olympics day 5: Siobhan Haughey takes bronze in 100m freestyle – as it happened
- Pan Zhanle smashes world best in men’s 100m freestyle, after the women’s version sees Siobhan Haughey beaten to gold
So that’s that then. The moment we had all been waiting for turns into something of an anti-climax.
There’s to be no third gold for Hong Kong, as Siobhan Haughey ends up taking bronze in the women’s 100m freestyle.
It hasn’t been a great day for the city’s athletes all round. After a 24-hour delay, the men’s triathlon finally took place, and it didn’t end well for Jason Ng Tai-long, who was lapped on the bike and eliminated.
Another busy day in Paris brought an emotional end for Hong Kong’s Tang Chun-man and Tse Ying-suet in mixed doubles badminton.
But there was a stunning performance in the pool from Pan Zhanle of China to round off the evening.
