After he achieved a good place in the opening competition on the Schattenbergschanze in Oberstdorf in 16th place, he finished eighth on the Olympic hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . After a tenth place in Innsbruck , he finished the tour with a 27th place on the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen . In the overall ranking he reached 13th place.
In 1960 Maatela won the ski flying weeks in Vikersund . A year later he finished seventh in ski flying in Oberstdorf , making the longest jump for a Finn at that time with 136 meters.
