A combination of no Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to train for and an inability to access the pool because of the coronavirus does not appear to be getting Hong Kong star swimmer Siobhan Haughey down.
The Olympic hopeful joined forces with some of Asia’s other Olympians for a quarantine video she shared on her Instagram account.
Haughey posted a video that begins with her in regular clothes and then in the blink of an eye she switches into her swimming gear while the Missy Elliot song “Work It” plays in the background.
The video then cuts to the same process for a “who’s who of Asian women’s swimming” posing in the mirror with their phones in hand before their instant pool-ready makeover.
Also taking part are Haughey’s fellow Hong Kong swimmer Camille Cheng; Tiffany Sudarma-Prenot who swam for Indonesia; Singapore’s Quah Ting Wen; Indonesia’s Kania Atmaja; and the Philippines’ Olympian Jasmine Alkhaldi. Several of them also shared the video on their Instagram accounts.
“The only glow up that’s happening during quarantine,” Haughey wrote as a caption. The term “glow up” refers to an instant or dramatic makeover and such videos have gone viral with Instagram models, although they swapped their regular clothes for lingerie.
Swimming stars around the world have been prevented from training in the pool as part of measures to prevent the coronavirus pandemic.
