Former European 800m champion Lynsey Sharp made a winning return to the track in Glasgow after an absence of more than three years.
The 32-year-old Scot, whose partner is Andrew Butchart, a 2016 Olympic 5,000m finalist, gave birth to son Max in 2021.
He competed last at the 2019 World Championships in Doha but proved his fitness by winning the 600m at the Glasgow Athletics Miler Meet at the Emirates Arena on Friday.
‘It was really hard to come back because first I had Covid and then I had the baby,’ said the former Commonwealth Games silver medallist, who also had surgery to remove cancerous cells in 2019.
