Haughey, fresh off her two gold medal victories at last week's Monaco leg, finished the final in 53.88 seconds on Wednesday. She was narrowly defeated by Dutch swimmer Marrit Steenbergen, who finished 0.32 seconds ahead. Li Sum-yiu, also representing Hong Kong, finished 13th overall after participating in the B-final.

On the men's side, Ian Ho Yentou of Hong Kong secured a silver medal in the 50m freestyle, clocking in at 22.35 seconds.
