Yrjölä was the big favourite to win, having won the Finnish trials with
7846.58, the best score of the year. He also set world records in win-
ning his national championship in 1926 and 1927. Sweden’s Helge
Jansson was the best on the first day, scoring 4178.97, leading Järvinen
(4136.03), Stewart (4127.69) and Yrjölä (4103.92), with Doherty well
back on 3848.57.
After Järvinen had taken the lead with a good 110mH of 15.6, Yrjölä
broke the event open with his 42.09 discus, taking the lead with
5833.24 ahead of Stewart (5811.91) and Järvinen (5765.15). Doherty
replaced Stewart as the best non-Finn with his 56.56 javelin, and easily
beat his teammate to take third place. Ahead of him Yrjölä placed fifth
in the final event – more than eight seconds ahead of Järvinen – and
broke his own world record by some 58 points. Järvinen became the
second best of all-time.
