It'd be so cool if Haughey can snatch the gold tomorrow.

Steenbergen is there too, just needs to be a bit closer on the turn.

Sure, that would also be fun, but a Hong Kong swimming gold and a rare Hong Kong gold in general, oh yes

4 golds in their Olympic history I see, I count that as rare enough to find it cool

Plus they are on a ticking clock before they are reabsorbed into the loving arms of the Socialist mother country, so enjoy it while you can.

don't you know how affilation to Hong Kong is decided? I mean why numerous Chinese athletes who don't make a national team do not simply switch to Hong Kong? Isn't it an obvious choice for them? Hong Kong medals are so rare but come on, they could be an Olympic powerhouse if they took all unclaimed Chinese athletes
