Posting a story on her Instagram account, double silver medallist Haughey showed off her newly polished nails, with two sporting painted logos of the Hong Kong flag and the Olympic rings.

“With a hint of gold,” she wrote.

Haughey will compete in only two individual events – the 100 metres and 200m freestyle events – while swimming with her teammates in the 4x100 medley relay.

She is the third-fastest woman of all time in the 100m freestyle after clocking a time of 52.02 seconds at the World Aquatics Swimming World Cup in Germany in October.
