Frogner, Oslo, August 12–14, 1925
Pole vault World Record holder Charles Hoff from Norway returned to competition in Oslo after his ban. The comeback was convincing. The man vaulted a new world record of 4.23m (13-10½). All heights were cleared on the first attempt.
Being an artistic character, Hoff demanded the hired band on the field play waltz music during his attempts. The audience didn't appreciate it, so the music was stopped. At the same time, Hoff also interrupted his jump, pointed at the band, signaling them to blast their horns. The band obeyed, Hoff continued his run-up and cleared the world record.
Two-time Olympic champion Harold Osborn's long season continued in Scandinavia in late summer. In Oslo, he cleared the season's fourth-best height of 2.00 (6-6¾). The three marks better than this during the season were also held by Osborn.
Norway's three-time Olympian Erling Aastad leaped a Nordic record of 7.45 (24-5¼) from the take-off board, ranking third in the season's statistics. It stood his lifetime best. Only Olympic champion DeHart Hubbard and future world record holder Silvio Cator ranked higher.
