The shot put settled the lead. Juuso Toivonen had taken it in the long jump and stood 1682 with 33 on Hassi. Hassi threw 13.90 for 722 points against 12.31 for 625, moved to 2371 and a lead of 64, and held first place after every remaining event. The closest Juuso Toivonen came after that was 38, at the high jump.
Hassi ran 11.00 in the 100m for 861 points and closed day 1 on 3894, 137 under his own PB series, the long jump 71 of that at 6.89 against a 7.19 series mark. Day 2 opened with 14.93 in the hurdles for 858 points and 21 above the series, then 37.82 in the discus took 60 back and the margin over the field kept growing anyway. He went into the 1500m 182 under the series and 230 clear; the run cost 93 more, the largest single loss on his sheet, and the title came by 235.
Juuso Toivonen was second at the day break on 3832 and 117 above his PB series, the 400m worth 61 of it at 50.46 against a 51.82 series mark and the shot 57. Day 2 took all of it away and more. The pole vault cost 98 at 4.80 against a 5.12 series mark, the javelin 89 at 48.66, and the 1500m 85. He finished 184 under the series and second by 235.
Ville Toivonen was sixth at the break on 3503 and 32 under his PB series. Day 2 moved him up three places in two events: 43.62 in the discus for 738 points, 50 above his series mark, took him from sixth to third, and 4.30 in the pole vault added 51 more. He was 72 above the series after 65.81 in the javelin for 826 points, and then the 1500m cost 156, the largest single loss in the top five. He held third by 258 and finished 84 under.
Otto Ylöstalo finished fourth. The gap to third was 72 after the hurdles and the discus tripled it, 34.61 for 556 points against Ville Toivonen's 738. The javelin took it to 452, and 4.40.39 in the closing 1500m for 678 points, against 484, closed 194 of it. He finished 590 under his own PB series, the largest shortfall in the top eight, with 147 of it from the 400m alone.
Elmo Savola came in with the best pre-competition PB in the field, 7956 from Bydgoszcz in July 2017. He was third on 2209 after the shot put, 298 under his own PB series, and did not start the high jump.
Two men beat their PB series, and both scored personal bests. Aleksi Savolainen gained 270 for sixth, on the 6461 he scored in Tampere in May of the same year, and Ville Kattelus 120 for seventh on his 6537 from Alajärvi that July. Petri Lemmetyinen, eighth, finished 617 under his PB series.
