Hong Kong's Siobhan Haughey rounded off the first leg of the Mare Nostrum Swim Tour in Monaco on Sunday with her second gold medal in as many days, winning the 100 metres freestyle.

Italy's Sara Curtis rounded off the podium with a time of 54.69. Four-time Olympic medallist Haughey was more than 1.5 seconds slower than her best time of last year, 52.33, which she swam at the Paris Olympics to win bronze in July. However, she had not competed internationally since last December, with Monaco representing her first significant meet since returning from a four-month break. The three-leg Mare Nostrum resumes in Barcelona on Wednesday before finishing in Canet-en-Roussillon at the weekend. The 27-year-old Haughey is expected to compete in the 100m freestyle on Wednesday and the 200m event the next day. More to follow … Advertisement
