In her first track race since the conclusion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Tipperary's Sharlene Mawdsley ended her season with a win in Switzerland last night.

The Newport AC runner emerged victorious in the Women’s 400 metres at the Gala dei Castelli.

Mawdsley came ahead of Susanne Gogl-Walli and Lieke Klaver with a time of 51.34 seconds.

This is the first competitive race Mawdlsey has competed in since the Women's 4x400m relay team narrowly missed out on a medal position at the Paris Games after finishing fourth in the final.
