Mawdsley was due to compete in the first heat at around 11.30am this morning in the individual event. However, she was forced to withdraw from the race due to a hamstring injury likely sustained in the Mixed 4x400m relay final on Thursday night, where Mawdsley ran a strong time of sub-50 seconds.

Her involvement is now in jeopardy for the Women's 4x400m relay later this weekend.
