Sharlene Mawdsley will return to racing in Rovereto, Italy on Tuesday evening, the Tipperary sprinter lining up in the 400m just over six weeks on from the hamstring tear that ruled her out of last month’s European Championships.

Mawdsley pulled up during the 200m at the nationals in late July and faced a race against time to recover for the Europeans, but was forced to withdraw just three days before the event began in Birmingham.
