World Athletics Championships: Irish in action on Day 3

Rhasidat Adeleke and Sharlene Mawdsley are back on the track in the 400m semi-finals.

Adeleke breezed into the semis with a controlled performance in her heat on Sunday, taking victory in a time of 50.80.

The Tallaght native has had another brilliant season and comes to Hungary with genuine hopes of making the podium. She goes in the first of the semi-final heats.

Mawdsley, in finishing fourth, backed up Saturday's blistering anchor leg in the mixed relay to post a lifetime best of 51.17 to secure her passage as one of the fastest non-automatic qualifiers. The Tipperary athlete runs in heat 2 on Monday evening.

Three heats in total, with the first two in each heat plus the two fastest times, qualifying for the final.
