After the political scandal one year prior, no national flags were used at the ninth edition of the ninth annual Four Hills Tournament in Germany and Austria, only those of the host country and the hosting ski club.[1]

East German athlete Helmut Recknagel won the tournament for a record third time after his absence the previous year.
