Two jumpers who placed on the podium of Oberstdorf only three days prior placed poorly in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, falling back in the overall ranking: Helmut Recknagel finished 35th (189.1p), Walter Habersatter 42nd (183.6p).

Innsbruck

Bischofshofen
🇦🇹 Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze, Bischofshofen 6 January 1958

Leading 8.6 points ahead of Schamov, Nikolay Kamenskiy was in a promising position to become the first ski jumper to win the Four Hills Tournament twice after his success two years prior.

However, Kamenskiy classified in a disappointing 18th place. Helmut Recknagel, who was only fifth in the overall ranking prior to Bischofshofen, won the event and snatched tournament victory.
