The high jump decided the lead. Jenna Vakkilainen had taken the opening hurdles with 13.31 for 1078 points and led by 4. Itälinna cleared 1.64 for 783 points, Vakkilainen 1.46 for 577, and Itälinna moved to 1857 with 59 in hand. She led after every remaining event, by 187 after the 200m and 301 after the long jump.
Itälinna opened with 13.34 in the hurdles for 1074 points, 48 above her own PB series, and closed day 1 on 3497 and 69 under it, the high jump costing 84 against the 1.71 in her series and the shot 31. Day 2 was almost level: 40 lost in the long jump, 37 taken in the javelin, 2 in the 800m. She finished 70 under the series.
Jessica Rautelin was second after every event except the javelin. She was 51 under her PB series at the day break on 3310, having taken 20 in the hurdles and lost 32 over 200m. Day 2 stayed within that band, and 2.15.80 in the 800m for 881 points, the fastest closing run in the field, returned 17. She finished 52 under the series.
Emmi Hietanen gained on her PB series in every one of the seven events. She was third at the day break on 3265 and 106 above it, with 30 from the hurdles, 36 from the high jump and 36 over 200m. Day 2 added 102: 45 in the long jump, 26 in a 44.94 javelin for 762 points that took her to second, and 31 in the 800m. Her 5470 was 208 above the series and a personal best on the 5262 she scored in Göteborg in June.
Vakkilainen finished 88 behind Hietanen in fourth, and the high jump made the gap: 1.46 for 577 points against 783 turned a 39-point lead into a 143-point deficit, and it was 118 going into the 800m, where she closed 30. Her 578 above her PB series was the largest gain in the field, built on 94 in the hurdles, 83 in the shot, 149 in a 5.77 long jump against a 5.26 series mark and 103 in the closing run.
Six women beat their PB series, and each of those is a personal best. Vakkilainen's 578 was the largest, on the 4804 she scored in Kangasala in May, then Saima Kossa's 317, which came from every event but the high jump, Jutta Heino's 234 in twelfth, Hietanen's 208, Iida Kujanpää's 86 in tenth and Sanni Säntti's 3 in eighth. Miia Lindholm, the second-ranked entrant on 5680 from Landquart in May 2012, finished fifteenth and 1577 under her series.
