The shot put settled the lead. Neea Käyhkö had taken it with 1.85 in the high jump for 1041 points and stood 1970 with 88 in hand. Sillman threw 11.98 for 660 points, Käyhkö 10.21 for 543, and the lead changed back to 2542 and 29. Sillman led after every remaining event, though the margin fell to 11 after the long jump before the javelin took it to 134.

Sillman was 322 under her own PB series at the day break on 3324, having lost in all four events: 47 in the hurdles, 88 in the high jump, 67 in the shot and 120 over 200m at 26.17 against a 24.83 series mark. Day 2 lost 112 more, 83 of it in the javelin at 45.77 against a 50.07 series mark. She finished 434 under the series and 175 clear.

Käyhkö led the high jump and was second after every other event. She was 6 under her PB series at the day break on 3282, the high jump worth 125 above it and the shot and 200m 125 below between them. Day 2 gave 25 back in the long jump and took 45 in the javelin, and 2.26.11 in the 800m cost 12. Her 5600 finished 2 above the series, and that is a personal best on the 5598 she scored in Tallinn in July 2021.

Jessica Rautelin was third after every event from the shot put. She was 193 under her PB series at the day break on 3168, with 132 of that from a 26.48 over 200m against a 24.99 series mark. Day 2 lost 95 more across the long jump and javelin, and 2.17.86 in the 800m for 853 points, the fastest closing run in the top five, cost 11 against her own series. She finished 288 under.

Mimosa Wirkkala finished 146 behind Rautelin in fourth, and the 800m produced the margin. She had been third and 47 ahead after the javelin; Rautelin ran 853 points to her 660, and the places swapped. Wirkkala's own competition was 165 above her PB series, 110 of it from a 5.64 long jump against a 5.26 series mark.

Five women beat their PB series, and each of those is a personal best. Wirkkala's 165 was the largest, then Saimi Lupala 99 in sixth, Emmi Valtonen 58 in fifth, Iida Kujanpää 6 in eighth and Käyhkö 2. Amanda Liljendal, the second-ranked entrant on 5661 from Tampere in August 2021, was sixth on 2262 after the shot put and 256 under her own PB series, and did not start the 200m. Janette Hanski, ninth, finished 633 under her series.
