Haughey medals again at Mediterranean swim tour
Haughey medals again at Mediterranean swim tour A second silver for Haughey in Barcelona confirms a stellar return to action for the four-time Olympic medallist. File photo: AFP Swimming sensation Siobhan Haughey continued to ramp up her form, with the Hong Kong star bagging two silver medals in the second leg of the 2025 Mare Nostrum Swim Tour in Barcelona. Haughey, 27, returned to competitive swimming in April after taking a four-month break to consider her future. She clocked a time of 1:57.38 to finish runner-up in the 200m freestyle on Thursday, adding to her 100m freestyle silver the day before at the Spanish city. Barbora Seemanova of the Czech Republic topped the 200m freestyle podium, with a time of 1:55.85. Portugal's Francisca Soares Martins rounded out the top three, touching home just over two seconds behind Haughey at 1:59.54. Haughey fell just short of a third medal in Barcelona, as she came back fourth in the 50m freestyle at 25.19 seconds. Nevertheless it marked a stellar few days for the four-time Olympic medalist - she landed two medals in the first leg of the tour in Monaco after winning both the 100m and 200m freestyle. Fellow SAR swimmer Ian Ho, meanwhile, withdrew from the men's 100m freestyle event in Barcelona. The third and final stop of the tour begins this Saturday in the French town of Canet-en-Roussillon.

Scots Come Dine With Me winner fined for sick TikTok rant about dead ex
Lucy Haughey, 44, went on TikTok Live and made vile comments about Kevin Keegan on December 30 2023. A Scots 'Come Dine With Me' winner who posted a sick video about her dead former partner online was fined £450 on Wednesday. Lucy Haughey, 44, went on TikTok Live and made negative comments about Kevin Keegan on December 30 2023. The mum - who won the hit Channel 4 show in 2017 - pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner. Haughey hit the headlines eight years ago after she had sex with a 15-year-old boy and was given a three-year community payback order. Her previous convictions also include stalking social worker Shannon Low in 2017 and was sentenced to community service. Haughey posted a video on social media about Miss Low in 2022 which included abusive comments. She was banned from contacting Miss Low for 10 years. Haughey was found guilty last year of racially abusing her former neighbour Roman Kavur and was fined £420. The court heard that in Haughey's latest matter she donated five pounds to an online fundraiser for Mr Keegan's funeral. Friends found this "unusual" as Mr Keegan was her ex-partner.

She said: "F*** all these b****s, I'm going to go to your brother's grave and p*** on it, I will p*** on it. "There is so much more I could expose, so much more." The police were then called on Haughey who now resides in Greece.

Haughey and Ian Ho win silvers in Barcelona
Haughey and Ian Ho win silvers in Barcelona Siobhan Haughey and Ian Ho both clocked better times for silver medals in the finals. File photo: AFP 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.

Mare Nostrum Swim Tour: Siobhan Haughey beaten to gold, but 2 medals for Hong Kong
Siobhan Haughey has finally been beaten at the Mare Nostrum Swim Tour in Barcelona, but Hong Kong won two medals in a day for the second time at this edition as she and Ian Ho Yentou bagged silvers. Haughey came second in the women's 100 metres freestyle final on Wednesday behind 20-year-old Dutch swimmer Milou van Wijk. The Hongkonger clocked 53.88 seconds, which was 0.32 seconds slower than Van Wijk's 53.56 and reversed their positions last Sunday in the first leg in Monaco. Third was Haughey's training partner, Czech swimmer Barbora Seemanova, who finished in 54.25. It represented a rare pause in Haughey's dominance at the tour, albeit at a time when she is at an early stage in her comeback from a four-month break. She was the overall women's winner of the past two Mare Nostrums, sweeping both the 100m and 200m freestyle in both years. In the men's 50m freestyle, Ho, Haughey's fellow Olympian, punched the wall in 22.15 seconds to pick up his first medal of the three-leg event. He was second to Egypt's Abdelrahman Elaraby's time of 21.94. Two swimmers tied for third, as Spain's Sergio de Celis and Piotr Ludwiczak from Poland both finished in 22.48.
