Ireland's Sharlene Mawdsley produces season's best performance in US

IRISH ATHLETE Sharlene Mawdsley produced a season's best performance in the 400m event at the Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia today. The 26-year-old finished fifth out of eight athletes with a time of 51.12. Advertisement The race was won by Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver medallist Marileidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic in a time of 49.12. Bahrain's Salwa Eid Naser, a former world champion, had seemingly finished second but was ultimately disqualified for a lane impediment. Nickisha Pryce of Jamaica (50.04) consequently moved up to the runners-up spot, while American pair Isabella Whittaker (50.16) and Alexis Holmes (51.02) also finished ahead of the Tipperary native. Mawdsley returns to action tomorrow, as she competes in the 200m at 9.43pm Irish time. Andrew Coscoran also features on Sunday — the 3000m event starts at 9:27pm Irish time. 🏃‍♀️ Démonstration de Marileidy Paulino 🇩🇴, la championne olympique du 400m fait la différence sur la dernière ligne droite pour s'imposer en 49.12 SB devant Salwa Eid Naser 🇧🇭 49.47 et Nickisha Pryce 🇯🇲 50.04 SB.#Athlétisme #GSTPhilly — (@NelsonCarterJr) May 31, 2025 You can view the results of tonight's events in full here.
