People watch Siobhan Bernadette Haughey of Hong Kong swim in the women's 50-meter freestyle at the 2020 Summer Olympics, at a shopping mall in Kwun Tong.
Born in Hong Kong , Haughey now has two silver medals from Tokyo, becoming the citys first-ever multiple medalist.
Haughey has announced she won't go for a third Olympic medal after her spectacular silver in Friday's 100-metre freestyle.
She had qualified for the semifinal of the 50-metre freestyle after clocking 24.75 seconds to finish fifteenth overall in her heat, but confirmed on Friday night that she was pulling out of Saturday's race, citing back pain.

Residents wait to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at a private clinic in Mongkok.
On efforts to control the spread of the virus, Hong Kong government has imposed the toughest social-distancing rules as well as vaccine pass extended to shopping centres, department stores, supermarkets, wet markets, religious places and salons.
The vaccination rate among the elderly in Hong Kong is not high. The elderly make up a big share of Hong Kong's population. Specifically, there are 1.44 million people aged 65 or above, a proportion of 19%. But only 55% of the people aged between 70 and 79 have completed a two-dose vaccination, and that rate among the people aged 80 or above is even lower at 26%.
Once the home recovery program is adopted, the large elderly group in the community who is not immune will be the first to be exposed to infection, and the death toll among them will increase significantly.

Saw this fellow get up from his seat and walked to the front of the bus.
And there he stood . . . just like that. The sun blazing in from the windshield was perfect as a bright background. So I metered at the darkest shadow for the shot, this gave me the effect I wanted on the hat as well as from the windshield.
Authorities have ordered Hong Kong's hundreds of thousands of foreign domestic workers to get coronavirus tests before May 9, following the discovery of an untraceable mutant strain in the community.
The government also said on Friday that it is planning to make it mandatory for helpers to be vaccinated against Covid in future.
This week, a 39-year-old helper from the Philippines has been found to be carrying a more infectious variant of the virus.
Her infection has prompted the authorities to put hundreds of households from Tower 11 at Caribbean Coast, Tung Chung, into quarantine for three weeks.

McDonald’s on Monday said it is shortening the opening hours for the majority of its 245 outlets in Hong Kong, while 38 branches will close altogether temporarily.
The fast food giant said it is adjusting the business hours because the Covid pandemic has seriously affected manpower and logistics.
Ninety of its branches will close at 6pm, while others will also shut earlier than usual.
The company said on its Facebook page that its overnight services will be suspended and warned that waiting times at restaurants will be longer and that the supply of certain products isn't stable.
McDonald’s said it hopes to maintain a minimum service in each district and it apologises for the inconvenience caused. （20220307 RTHK news)
