Mawdsley Withdraws from European 400m | Ireland News

Sharlene Mawdsley pulls out of the 400m at the European Championships due to a hamstring tear, despite a stellar season that included six runs under European A-standard and a personal best of 50.06 seconds—fifth fastest in Europe this year. Though her team pushed hard to get her ready, recovery just wasn’t fast enough. She’ll miss her birthday celebration on opening day and her guaranteed semi-final spot, but remains grateful for her medical team and Athletics Ireland’s efforts. A reserve will now step in for the relay, where she was set to anchor. Her withdrawal is a major loss, as she was having her best season yet.
