The 800m decided it. Saga Vanninen (FIN) had led the shot and the long jump and went to the line on 3861 with 9 on Vidts, the closest the standing came all competition. Vidts ran 2.12.99 for 921 points, Vanninen 2.20.54 for 816, and the title came by 96.
Vidts led after the high jump and was second after the shot and the long jump. She was 27 under her own PB series after the hurdles and 77 under after 1.79 in the high jump for 966 points, 50 under her series mark. The shot returned 15 at 14.26 for 811, the long jump cost 33 and the 800m 61, and she finished 156 under the series, the deficit built in small amounts across four of the five events.
Vanninen matched her PB series exactly in the hurdles and then went 111 above it in the high jump, 1.79 for 966 points against a 1.70 series mark, which was the largest single gain in the field. The shot cost 36 even as it gave her the lead, the long jump returned 54 at 6.41 for 978 points, and the 800m 7 more. Her 4677 was 136 above the series and a personal best on the 4541 she scored in Tallinn in February 2023.
Sofie Dokter (NED) was 101 under her PB series after the high jump, 1.76 against a 1.84 series mark, and 98 under after the shot. Day's end brought it back: 6.20 in the long jump for 912 points was 10 above the series and moved her from sixth to third, and 2.11.89 in the 800m for 937 points, the fastest closing run in the top five, returned 56. She finished 32 under the series and took third by 12.
Sveva Gerevini (ITA) finished 12 behind Dokter in fourth. The shot put opened the gap, 12.58 for 700 points against 730, which turned a 2-point lead into a 28-point deficit, and the long jump closed it to 10. The 800m added 2 more. Gerevini's own competition was within 12 of her PB series in every event and finished 19 above it, a personal best on the 4540 she scored in Aubière in January.
María Vicente (ESP) came in with the second-best PB in the field, 4728 from Aubière in January 2024, and led the opening hurdles with 1113 points. She was sixth on 1968 after the high jump, 35 under her own PB series, and did not start the shot.
Two women finished above their PB series, and both scored personal bests: Vanninen by 136 and Gerevini by 19. Szabina Szűcs (HUN), tenth, finished 369 under her series and Bianca Salming (SWE), eighth, 216 under.
