Sarah Healy produced a run every bit as courageous as it was classy to win the 1500m at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland on Tuesday evening. 

The 22-year-old Dubliner played a patient game through the first three laps then assumed command, turning the gears on her rivals and digging in down the home straight to record her first ever win at a Continental Tour Gold meeting.
