In today's news: Dina Asher-Smith wins 100m Diamond League final, Emma Hayes and Eni Aluko are named pundits for Euro 2020 coverage and the Vitality Netball Superleague releases tickets for general sale for the remaining season fixtures.
Dina Asher-Smith wins Diamond League 100m
Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith has snubbed Sha'Carri Richardson of a win in the Diamond League 100m sprint final.
The four-time European champion raced to first place in 11.35 seconds during a wet and windy afternoon in Gateshead. Her time makes her the fastest woman this year and puts her in good stead for being called up to Team GB ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
Asher-Smith won bronze at Rio 2016 as part of Britain's 4x100m relay team. Both she and Richardson will be looking to run the 100,200m double in Tokyo this summer.

ITV will be showing live matches and highlights throughout the competition, featuring a stellar lineup of well-known names within the industry.
Seema Jaswal will partner Mark Pougatch as the main presenters, with the likes of Ian Wright and Roy Keane joining the pundit team. Hayes and Aluko, as well as Paris Saint-Germain forward Nadia Nadim, will join the roster ahead of the much-anticipated European Championship.

Amy Turner named PFA Community Champion
Manchester United's Amy Turner has scooped the PFA Community Champion award for the 2020/21 season. The 29-year-old was named alongside fellow United defender Harry Maguire for their work in supporting the club's Foundation during Covid-19.
Turner has volunteered her time to host virtual sessions and offered encouraging messages to the young people who have needed it most during the pandemic. She sent videos to children's hospitals across the Greater Manchester area and hosted live Q&As with Ulster University and Manchester United’s Girls’ Regional Talent Club.
"The Foundation has been an amazing support for young people across Greater Manchester, not only during the pandemic, but for so many years now. I’ve been proud to support their work and have seen first-hand the impact they have in the community," Turner said.
