There were large crowds at the Town Park in Newport last night to welcome home Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley.

The Newport AC member has had an amazing season culminating with a 4th place finish in the women’s 4×400 metre relay in Paris.

As well as the superb Olympic performance Sharlene has also won a World Mixed Relay Bronze in the 4×400, Gold in the European 4×400 mixed and silver in the European women’s 4×400.

Speaking to Tipp FM in Newport last evening Sharlene said the local support has been very special.

“Yeah it’s been amazing – I think I barely saw anyone when I was in Paris but I went up to the stands just to see people and I think half of Newport were there so it was really, really nice. The support that they show me all the time is so special.

“When I walk out onto the track I try listen to it especially at the Olympics because the Olympics is every four years – I don’t know if I’m going to have another Olympic games in me – but I wanted to appreciate every time I stepped out on that track so I definitely hear the ‘come on Sharlene’.
