In the sprint he took 32nd place, improved to 27th place in the pursuit race based on it and was tenth in the relay race alongside Benjamin Riedlsperger, Michael Reiter and Martin Huber as the final runner, whereby he had to run two penalties like Reiter. It took two years until Komatz took part again in the Junior World Championships in Nové Město na Moravě .

When he was seventh in the sprint with two mistakes, he was only the third-best Austrian, with only one improvement by one place and three mistakes in the pursuit of the best Austrian.

After another participation in the Biathlon Junior World Championships 2012 in Kontiolahti with a fifth place in the individual as the best result, the debut in the IBU Cup for men followed.
