The competition

Enni Virjonen won the women's pentathlon at the Finnish indoor championships with 4450 points, 79 above her own PB series and a personal best. Seven of the twelve who finished scored above theirs, which for one afternoon of five events is most of the field.

Vilma Itälinna led after the hurdles. Virjonen took the lead in the high jump, by 17 points, and had turned it into 137 by the end of the shot and 332 by the end of the long jump.

Virjonen opened 20 points under her series with 8.40 in the hurdles and lost another 61 at 1.67 in the high jump, so she led on 1857 while trailing her own history by 81. The last three events took all of it back and more: 14.15 in the shot for 804 points and 47 above the series, 6.38 in the long jump for 969 and 110 above it, then 2:20.24 to finish 79 up. The 4450 beats the 4371 she scored at Tallinn in February.

Jessica Rautelin was fourth after the high jump and second from the long jump onward, finishing on 4112 and 26 above her series, a personal best over a 4086 that had stood since February 2021. Hers was the even competition of the three: 19 up in the hurdles, 23 in the shot, 24 in the long jump, and 17 given back over 800m.

Emmi Hietanen was sixth after the hurdles and seventh after the high jump, 40 points under her series, and finished third. The long jump moved her to third at 5.73 for 24 above her series and the 800m confirmed it: 2:28.37 was worth 37 more than her series mark, which is what turned a 14-point deficit into a 23-point personal best.

Behind them, Mimosa Wirkkala took fifth 135 above her series and Sanni Säntti eighth 197 above hers, the largest gain of the competition.
