Sarah Healy seals Diamond League top spot despite ninth-place finish in Silesia
Sarah Healy didn't need a podium finish to cement her place at the summit of the Diamond League standings CLOUD NINE Sarah Healy seals Diamond League top spot despite ninth-place finish in Silesia IRELAND'S Sarah Healy has secured top spot in the women's 1500m Wanda Diamond League standings. And that is despite only finishing ninth in Saturday's race in Silesia. 2 Sarah Healy still remains in top place in the Diamond League standings 2 The UCD star heads the pack heading into the final meet of the series in Zurich Advertisement The UCD star had already done enough to qualify for the Zurich final on 28 August - meaning she couldn't be caught at the summit. There's over €25,000 up for grabs in the showpiece race. World champion Gudaf Tsegay blitzed the field in Poland, setting a furious pace by going through 800m in under two minutes before storming home in 3:50.62. Her triumph was just shy of Faith Kipyegon's 2023 world record of 3:49.11. Advertisement Healy stayed in the pack throughout and crossed in 3:57.95 to cross the line in ninth. Her time also meant that she was inside the automatic qualifying standard for next year's European Athletics Championships. Elsewhere, Irish track and field stars Sharlene Mawdsley and Andrew Coscoran have found themselves caught in the fallout of Michael Johnson's 'Grand Slam Track' crisis. The former US Olympic champions is facing a financial crisis - with $13million still owed to athletes. Advertisement The bold new track and field league, launched this year by Olympic legend Johnson, promised huge prize pots and global exposure. But just three meets into its debut season, after events in Kingston, Miami and Philadelphia - the final showpiece in Los Angeles was scrapped. Inside Sharlene Mawdsley's 'delicious' yet atypical Tenerife holiday with GAA star boyfriend Mikey Breen It's cancellation apparently has left athletes waiting for money they earned.

Premier League: Spurs and Sunderland open with big wins
Tottenham began the Thomas Frank era in the Premier League with a convincing 3-0 home victory over promoted side Burnley thanks to a majestic double from striker Richarlison, which included an acrobatic volley. The Brazilian opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he turned in a cross from new recruit Mohammed Kudus and the pair combined again on the hour mark when Richarlison volleyed a well-timed effort into the net to extend the lead. Six minutes later, Brennan Johnson made it 3-0 on the counter-attack after Richarlison won the ball back in midfield as Burnley struggled to deal with Spurs' press and intensity. It was no meek surrender from the visitors, however, as they managed to get forward and take nearly as many shots as Tottenham, but Scott Parker's side lacked quality in finishing. Meanwhile, Eberechi Eze is understood to be closing in on a move to Tottenham. It is understood the England international has reached an agreement with current club Crystal Palace that he will not play for them at Chelsea on Sunday. Eze was a critical player as Palace won the FA Cup last season and also featured as the Eagles saw off Liverpool to lift the Community Shield last weekend. The 27-year-old – who has long been linked with a move across London – joined Palace in 2020 from QPR and has gone on to win 11 England caps. Sunderland marked their return to the Premier League in style with a 3-0 win over West Ham at the Stadium of Light. Following an eight-year absence from the top flight, the Black Cats withstood some promising attacks spearheaded by Hammers captain Jarrod Bowen in the first half and after the break it was their Championship play-off heroes who proved to be the difference. They went ahead through Eliezer Mayenda's header and Dan Ballard soon extended the advantage, nodding home into the same spot as his last-gasp winner against Coventry in the play-off semi-finals. Substitute Wilson Isidor struck in added time to wrap up three points in Sunderland's first Premier League appearance since May 2017. Substitute Rodrigo Muniz struck a dramatic added-time equaliser as Fulham snatched a 1-1 Premier League draw against Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Brazilian forward Muniz pounced six minutes beyond the 90 when the Seagulls failed to deal with a Harry Wilson corner. Albion were on course to begin the season with three points after Matt O'Riley converted a 55th-minute penalty following Sander Berge's foul on Georginio Rutter. Fulham had plenty of the ball after falling behind but rode their luck and rarely tested Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen before the late twist.
