At the third edition of the annual Four Hills Tournament in Germany and Austria, Hemmo Silvennoinen became the first ski jumper to win the tournament without winning any of the single events. He won ahead of two other Finns.

Defending champion Olaf Bjørnstad did not compete. The winner of the inaugural tournament, Sepp Bradl did compete and ended up fourth overall, in spite of disappointing results on the German hills (15th and 12th).

The following athletes are on the FIS record, although it is likely incomplete.
