Tipperary's Sharlene Mawdsley and Wexford's Sophie Becker will get another chance to make the 400-metre semi-finals at the Paris Olympics today.

It's after they failed to qualify following their heats yesterday.

They go in the repechage at around 20 past 10 Irish time.

Elsewhere in athletics, Ciara Mageean says she is "absolutely heartbroken" she will not be taking part in the Olympic Games this morning.
