The first round of the World Cup was originally going to be held in Hochfilzen, Austria, but the races were moved to Obertauern due to a lack of snow.[1]

Notes edit

1. 1 The Wintersport source places Finland 3rd, but after the fifth round of the World Cup, they were at ninth. And so it seems more logical that the Soviet Union placed 3rd as they were at second place before the last World Cup at Lillehammer in which the Soviets did not participate.
