The long jump decided the lead. Damian Warner (CAN) had opened with 10.28 in the 100m for 1028 points and led by 32. Ehammer jumped 8.51 for 1194 points, 45 more than the jump in his PB series had been worth, Warner jumped 7.73, and the lead changed to 2190 and 170. Ehammer led after every remaining event, by as much as 271 after the hurdles and by 48 at the finish.
Ehammer was first at the day break on 4762 and 142 above his PB series, the shot carrying most of it: 15.15 for 799 points, 95 above the 13.60 he threw in his PB competition. Day 2 added 61, with only the high jump on day 1 and the javelin on day 2 below the series by more than a handful. The pole vault gave 31 and 4.43.22 in the 1500m another 29. He finished 203 above the series.
Leo Neugebauer (GER) was thirteenth after the 100m and second at the day break on 4632 and 53 under his own PB series, having lost 47 in the shot at 16.71 against a 17.46 series mark. He was second after every event from the long jump. Day 2 cost 178 more: 146 in the discus at 50.77 against a 57.70 series mark, the largest single loss in the top five, and 66 in the pole vault. The javelin and the 1500m returned 61 between them. He finished 231 under the series, 48 behind.
Niklas Kaul (GER) was twenty-second after the 100m and eighteenth at the day break on 4125, 39 under his PB series. He was still twelfth after the pole vault. The javelin moved him to fourth, 78.21 for 1015 points, and 4.23.67 in the 1500m for 787 points took third. He finished 163 under the series.
Warner finished 31 behind Kaul in fourth. He held third after every event from the shot put and went into the 1500m 44 ahead; Kaul ran 4.23.67 for 787 points, Warner 4.35.09 for 712, and the places swapped. Warner's own competition ran 521 under his PB series, with 131 lost in the long jump at 7.73 against the 8.24 he jumped in Tokyo, 90 in the pole vault and 128 in the javelin.
Ehammer was the only man in the field to beat his PB series, by 203, and that is also a personal best. Jeff Tesselaar (NED), eleventh, came closest to his at 10 under. Pierce LePage (CAN), the third-ranked entrant on 8909 from Budapest in August 2023, finished twelfth and 792 under his series, and Rasmus Roosleht (EST), eighteenth, 847 under.
