2025-08 Kalevan Kisat - Naisten 7-ottelu

The competition

Vilma Itälinna won the women's heptathlon at the Finnish championships with 5737 points, leading from the high jump to the finish. Behind her Emmi Hietanen took third with a personal best built out of seven events that were every one of them above her own PB series.

Jenna Vakkilainen led after the hurdles by four points. Itälinna took the lead in the high jump and held it for the remaining six events, at her widest 301 clear after the long jump.

Itälinna spent the competition close to her own history without ever getting above it. She was 48 points up after 13.34 in the hurdles and 84 down after 1.64 in the high jump, and the two roughly cancelled everything that followed: 3497 at the day break and 69 under her series, 5737 at the end and 70 under it. Her 34.81 javelin and 2:19.62 over 800m were both slightly better than her series expects.

Jessica Rautelin was second from the shot onward and finished 52 under her series on 5528. The long jump and the 200m were where it went, 15 and 32 points respectively, and 2:15.80 over 800m took 17 of it back.

Emmi Hietanen produced the competition the reports are built to show. Her hurdles were 30 points above her series, her high jump 36, her shot 4, her 200m 36, her long jump 45, her javelin 26 and her 800m 31: seven events, seven gains, and 208 points in total. She was third after the 200m and third at the end on 5470, a personal best over the 5262 she scored at Göteborg in June.

The largest gain of the competition belongs to Jenna Vakkilainen, fourth on 5382 and 578 points above her series, and Saima Kossa was fifth 317 above hers. Both are personal bests, as is Sanni Säntti's eighth place by three points.
