Sharlene Mawdsley responds to viral street sprint video after All-Ireland win
Sharlene Mawdsley has joked that she is happy to return to the track after racing on the streets of Thurles while enjoying the All-Ireland Hurling celebrations. Mawdsley's partner, Michael Breen, was part of the Tipperary team that beat Cork in Sunday's All-Ireland final, and the Irish Olympian enjoyed the celebrations with the panel and their friends. And as the celebrations rolled on, a video circulated of sprinter Mawdsley racing on the streets of Thurles where she won comfortably, despite giving her competitor a head start. After a couple of days of well-deserved celebrations, Mawdsley shared a snap back on the track and poked fun at herself, saying: "Swapping the streets of Thurles for the track today" Sharlene appeared on stage with her partner, Tipperary defender Mikey Breen, and the pair were captured in a lovely photograph showing the two of them holding the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Tipperary celebrated their All-Ireland win in style at Semple Stadium this evening as over 40,000 supporters turned up to cheer on their heroes at the homecoming.

The Tipperary native and Olympian appeared on stage with her partner, Tipp defender Mikey Breen, and the pair were captured in a lovely photograph showing the two of them holding the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Sharlene Mawdsley to cheer on GAA star boyfriend in All-Ireland final
Irish Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley will likely be in attendance as she cheers on boyfriend Michael Breen in Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling final. Breen has been a mainstay in Tipperary Hurling through the years and is named to start against Cork in the eagerly anticipated final. Cheering him on will be relay star Mawdsley, who recently went public with the relationship. The 400 metre specialist revealed that she recently attended her first ever hurling match in Croke Park when she went to the All-Ireland semi-final win over Kilkenny and promised it won't be her last. Michael and Sharlene's romance was confirmed following Tipperary's 1-30 to 1-21 victory over Waterford in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship in May. Sharing a picture of them together in Semple Stadium in Thurles, Sharlene wrote: "Tippin' on." Michael also commented on their first public picture together, which he wasn't tagged in, and poked fun at his girlfriend, writing: "Any tag nah?" Michael has been named to start in Sunday's decider as he's put in another stellar year with the Premier County. Breen has twice won All-Ireland titles, starting in the 2016 and 2019 finals in midfield. Now 31 years old, he has reinvented himself as a corner back and will be looking for his first All-Star Award and third Celtic Cross. For Mawdsley, Sunday will be a brief respite from a gruelling training regime. The Tipperary native will be hoping for a personal best when she competes at this September's World Athletics Championships. Mawdsley, who turns 27 later this year, returned to the track after a short break following the shock passing of her father last month and recently competed at the Morton Games, where she won the 400-metre race. Tipperary take on Cork in the All-Ireland Hurling final this Sunday at 3.30 pm.
