O'Connor's outstanding performance in the morning sessions saw her achieve personal bests in both the 60m hurdles and high jump during the pentathlon. With her best times, she secured second place overall, closely trailing Finland's Saga Vanninen for gold. The afternoon will be critical for O'Connor as she competes in the long jump and 800m, where her performance could determine her position on the podium. The competition is tight with O'Dowda and Dokter also in contention for medals, all needing to maximize their remaining events to secure a top finish.
"I couldn't be happier. I wanted to get the first one out of the way and then relax and get into the swing of things."
"It’s a really tough competition, us top four are really close and to be anywhere near the medals, I have to PB and go out and produce this afternoon as well."
