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.
