The Tokyo Games – postponed for a year because of the Covid-19 pandemic – finally get underway on Friday.

Siobhan Haughey and Ian Ho, two of Hong Kong’s nine-strong swimming contingent that are hoping to make a splash in Tokyo, speak to RTHK’s Wong Yin-ting about gearing up for the Games during a pandemic and what they’re hoping to achieve.
