Savola led from the opening 100m and was never headed, by as much as 281 after the hurdles. Joni Heikkinen came closest on day 2, throwing 46.43 in the discus for 796 points against Savola's 643 and cutting the margin from 281 to 128, where it stayed through the pole vault. The javelin ended the challenge: Savola threw 56.03 for 678 points against 51.50 for 611, and the lead went back to 195.
Savola was first at the day break on 4121 and 37 under his own PB series, having lost 43 in the 100m and taken 45 back with 14.04 in the shot. Day 2 turned twice. The pole vault cost 123 at 4.20 against a 4.62 series mark, the largest single loss on his sheet, and the javelin returned 124 at 56.03 against a 47.64 series mark, the largest single gain. He went into the 1500m 3 above the series and finished 8 above it.
Heikkinen was second after every event from the 100m. He closed day 1 on 3868 and 200 above his PB series, improving on it in four of the five: 37 in the 100m, 83 in the long jump at 7.10 for 838 points and 78 in the shot. Day 2 added 229, the discus worth 155 of it and 51.50 in the javelin 70 more. His 7443 was 429 above the series and a personal best on the 7014 he scored in Turku in August 2020.
Aleksi Savolainen was third at the day break on 3700 and 160 under his PB series, the long jump 88 of that at 6.53 against a 6.91 series mark. Day 2 lost 153 further, 100 of it in a 37.15 discus against a 42.06 series mark and 61 in the pole vault. He held third after every event from the 100m and finished 313 under the series.
Juuso Toivonen finished 493 behind Savolainen in fourth. The gap was 245 at the day break and the discus nearly doubled it: 30.43 for 473 points, 136 under his own series mark, against Savolainen's 607. The javelin took it to 472. He finished 694 under his series, with 136 lost in the long jump as well and 98 in the pole vault.
