Hall led from the opening hurdles and was never headed. The margin was 15 after that first event and the high jump ended the only challenge: 1.92 for 1132 points took it to 76, and it grew in every event but one after that, to 145 after the shot, 236 after the 200m and 313 after the long jump.
Hall was first at the day break on 4172 and 181 above her own PB series, having improved on it in all four events: 68 in the hurdles at 12.75 for 1162 points, 78 in the high jump, 15 in the shot and 20 in a 22.88 over 200m for 1091. Day 2 added 52. The long jump gave 48, the javelin took 52 at 43.08 against a 45.75 series mark, and 2.02.97 in the 800m for 1070 points returned 56. She finished 233 above the series.
Katarina Johnson-Thompson (GBR) came in with the best pre-competition PB in the field, 6981 from Doha in October 2019. She was twenty-first after the hurdles, 116 under her own PB series after one event, and third at the day break on 3930 and 208 under. Day 2 opened it further: 6.32 in the long jump for 949 points was 146 under her series mark, the largest single loss on any of the leading sheets, though it still moved her to second. She finished 425 under the series.
Adrianna Sułek (POL) was second after the shot and the 200m and third from the long jump on. She was 46 under her PB series at the day break on 3936, having lost 77 in the high jump and taken 20 in the shot. Day 2 lost 146 more, 104 of it in the closing 800m at 2.14.33 against a 2:07.18 series mark. She finished 192 under.
Saga Vanninen (FIN) took fourth, 89 behind Sułek. She had been 98 behind at the day break and closed to 39 through the long jump and javelin. The 800m put it back: Sułek ran 902 points to her 852. Vanninen's own 2.17.91 was still 90 above her series mark, the largest single gain on her sheet, and it took her from 30 above the series to 120 above it.
Anouk Vetter (NED), the second-ranked entrant on 6867 from Eugene in July 2022, was seventh on 3810 after the 200m and 200 under her own PB series, and did not start the long jump.
