ON A DRAMATIC day of racing at the world indoor championships in Glasgow, Ireland’s Sharlene Mawdsley appeared to secure her place in the final of the 400m, only for the Tipperary native to be later disqualified following an appeal from Austrian runner Susanne Gogl-Walli.
However, Austria’s Gogl-Walli, who finished fourth, appealed the result based on an apparent infringement by Mawdsley on the final turn. Incredibly, the trio could not be separated, and after a lengthy wait, all three were deemed to have tied for second place, in a time of 52.23. All three were therefore sent through to the semi-finals as automatic qualifiers.
Klaver won the race in 51.18 with Diggs second at 51.28 and Mawdsley third before the later appeal moved her out of the qualifying places.
