In the overall lead ever since his dominating victory at the tournament's first event in Oberstdorf , Eino Kirjonen was 19.8 points in the lead before the final. In Bischofshofen, Kirjonen finished 12th. None of his closest pursuers, however, achieved a top result either (Silvennoinen 14th, Lindquist 24th, Schamov 10th). This allowed Bischofshofen victor Willi Egger to jump up from 9th to 2nd place in the overall ranking.
