After three clear victories, there was little chance for Engan's opponents to catch up to him in the overall ranking.
Within ten years, Engan was the fourth athlete to compete in Bischofshofen after having won all three previous events. Like all of his predecessors in that regard, he did not manage to secure a fourth victory.
John Balfanz became the first non-European to finish on a podium at a Four Hills event.
