The lead changed hands three times before it settled. Annik Kälin (SUI) held it after the hurdles, Adrianna Sułek-Schubert (POL) through the high jump, the shot and the 200m, and Kälin again after the long jump, by a single point. O'Connor took it in the javelin and kept it.
O'Connor closed day 1 third on 3926, 20 up on her series, with 13.30 in the hurdles for 1080 points and 23.79 over 200m. Day 2 turned on the long jump: 6.55 against a 6.22 series mark, worth 1023 points and 105 more than that jump had been worth on her best day. The javelin put her in front for the first time, 51 clear with one event to run, and 2:11.74 closed it out.
Emma Oosterwegel (NED) was fifth after day 1 on 3865 and 18 up on her series, having opened with 12.98 in the hurdles for 1127 points. Day 2 gave her 6.50 in the long jump and 51.49 in the javelin, and she finished 8 above her series and 38 behind O'Connor.
Sofie Dokter (NED) went the other way. She was second at the day break on 3944, but 25 under her own series; day 2 returned 62, and she took third 37 above it.
Six of the top eight beat their PB series, and each of those is a personal best. Sarolta Kriszt (HUN) made the largest gain, 156 up on hers for sixth. María Vicente (ESP) was 68 up in eighth and Sophie Weißenberg (GER) 47 up in fifth. Kälin, fourth, finished 189 under her series, and Sułek-Schubert, who led for three events, 297 under hers.
