The death of Mawdsley's father (67) comes days after the Tipperary woman competed in the third edition of Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia on Sunday, achieving a season's best. "I would like to thank everyone who has been so kind and supportive at this time, from the emergency services to our great neighbours and wider community, and so many friends,' the Olympian said. 'I would please ask the media in particular, for privacy and understanding at this time.' Mr Mawdsley's remains will repose at Meehan's Funeral Home Newport in County Tipperary on Friday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm with removal to the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, Newport.

Earlier this year, Sharlene competed in the mixed 4x400m relays in the first round at the World Relays in Guangzhou, China. She was joined by her Irish teammates Conor Kelly, Rhasidat Adeleke and Cillín Greene, who combined to finish second and earn a spot in the World Athletics Championships later this year. She also narrowly lost out on a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay event at last year's Olympic games in Paris.
