With the IX. At the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck , ten competitions were held in Nordic skiing . This was also the 25th Nordic World Ski Championships . In addition to Olympic medals, world championship medals were also awarded. The only exception was the Nordic Combined, in which there were only Olympic medals. The venues were the Toni-Seelos-Olympiaschanze in Seefeld in Tirol (including the ski stadium belonging to it) and the Bergiselschanze in Innsbruck.
For the first time two competitions in ski jumping were on the program, one as before on a smaller so-called normal hill and one on a large hill. Furthermore, the jumpers completed three jumps, of which the best two were included in the rating. For women, a third discipline was added: 5 km cross-country skiing.
The Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR started as an all-German team for the last time at the Olympic Winter Games . This team was the only one that could win a medal next to the Scandinavian countries and the Soviet Union with a third place. The dominance of the Northerners and the Soviet Union, already known from previous World Championships and the Olympic Winter Games, could also be found here in Innsbruck.

preview
Sport Zürich looked at a preview in its January 29, 1964 issue. With regard to the cross-country skiing competitions, a strengthened Norwegian team was expected, whereupon the relay victory against Sweden and Finland in December 1963 suggested. There was a question mark over the performance of the Soviet participants who had disappointed two years ago at the World Championships in Zakopane . The cross-country ski trails in Seefeld not only required fitness, but also speed and soupiness. As a matter of fact, little is known about the shape of their aces Giulio Deflorian and Marcello de Dorigo , who had been in the north to prepare for the Italians , but ended up in bad places in the tests with Norway and Sweden. It is difficult to believe that the 1963 sensation will repeat itself. In any case, apart from the Scandinavians, Soviets and Italians, none of the others would stand a chance.
An open fight can be expected in the Nordic Combined, Olympic champion Georg Thoma showed unexpectedly great uncertainties on the hill this winter. The chances of the Swiss champion Alois Kälin have never been as good as this time. World champion Arne Larsen has improved a lot in jumping. It was also written to prepare for a sensation by Bjørn Wirkola . Toralf Engan , Veikko Kankkonen , Helmut Recknagel and Dieter Neuendorf , Antoni Łaciak and Józef Przybyła were given the best chances for the Seelos hill . There were a number of medal aspirants for the large hill: Kankkonen, Engan, Nilo Halonen , Torgeir Brandtzæg , Torbjørn Yggeseth , Max Bolkart , Recknagel and the many Soviet jumpers ( Alexander Iwannikow , Nikolai Schamow and Nikolai Kamenski ), plus the two daredevils Neuendorf and Przybył .

The course consisted of the 10 km women's route and then a 20 km loop. At the finish it was −13.5 ° C at the start of the race, the weather was completely clear, the snow was very hard and good. The start intervals were 30 seconds. Mäntyranta started last and had the entire field in front of him. His compatriot Laurila set the pace ahead of him (third after 10 km, second after 20 km), fulfilled this ungrateful tactical task and dropped back to 6th place. Grønningen, known as a slow starter, was initially seventh, then fourth and still overtook Vorontschichin, who had advanced from 5th to 3rd. Sixten Jernberg ran surprisingly strong despite a retinal disease, but the German master Walter Demel was to be regarded as a real sensation, who finished 10th as the best Central European with only about one and a half minutes behind. The South Korean Yong-Ok ran a kilometer further with a broken ski; He was offered a replacement ski by the race management, which he initially refused with a polite bow, but after much back and forth he accepted the offer.

Due to the low night temperatures, the route was very fast. The snow conditions were good, the snow was hard and grainy, there was powder snow in the shadows. Tiainen already had a great time with car number 1. The Finn Kalevi Hämäläinen , who started No. 35, led up to 37.5 kilometers , at last 20 seconds ahead of Jernberg, but the reigning world champions (No. 41) and Rönnlund (No. 18) relentlessly caught up; in the end, Hämäläinen was 16th. Jernberg celebrated the victory one day before his 35th birthday.

The favorites were the runners from the Soviet Union, but they could not take the top ranks en bloc. The predictions regarding Sweden and Finland as the biggest adversaries came true: Lehtonen was just behind Boyarskich at half distance, but the teacher from Siberia had enough reserves to keep the Finn at a distance in the finish.

Although 15 cm of fresh snow had fallen overnight, the cross-country ski trail was quick and in good condition in the morning when the weather was nice. The Soviet Union, which had been defeated both by Finland in 1956 and by Sweden in 1960, was the logical favorite due to the previous individual competitions and took the lead after 500 m, which it did not give up and even extended to more than two minutes; every runner ran the best time on her section. A strange thing happened to the Finnish start runner Pusula, who ran such a weak time that she was distanced from her competitor Kolchina by two and a half minutes. She had become snow-blind in the blazing sun and stumbled through the second half of the route. But Pöysti was able to regain third place on the second leg. Hard battles for position took place behind the medal relay, with Bulgaria still able to move up to 5th place.

The competition, which was held in bitter cold with alternating sunshine and light snowfall, was extremely exciting, because the winner was not certain until the last jumper, Veikko Kankkonen. The Finn had failed his first jump and only came in 29th. Despite a shortened run-up, the hill record of 76.5 m held by Georg Thoma from the previous year was improved four times, with Josef Matouš ultimately setting the new record with 80.5 m and thus taking the lead. In the second run, the run-up was shortened again because the critical point had already been skipped more than the permitted 10%. The hill record almost fell again, because Kankkonen reached 80.0 m and moved up to 4th place. The new first was Engan ahead of Matouš and Neuendorf. The third round suffered a bit from the rising wind, which hit some jumpers more than others. Engan proved his consistency with 79.0 m and seemed to be the sure winner, but Kankkonen with the same distance and style outperformed him thanks to the 3.60 higher score in the second round. Brandtzæg also improved and achieved a distance that brought him the bronze medal. The Persian imperial couple was among the 30,000 spectators.

52 participants from 15 countries, all in the ranking.
As before in Seefeld, the same athletes took the medal decision here. There was a somewhat questionable rating for silver medalist Kankkonen, in which the judges obviously disagreed as to whether his second jump was considered “fallen”. Kankonnen had been light with his hands in the snow. The Canadian Dokka therefore gave the 9, the judges 2, 4 and 5 gave 17, 18.5 and 18 - and the third, the Finn Koskivuori, found a compromise with the 15. In the first round, Kankonnen set the hill record of Poland's Józef Przybyła with 93.5 meters.

Date: February 2, 2:05 p.m. (ski jumping) / February 3, 1:05 p.m. (cross-country skiing)
32 participants from 11 countries, 31 of them in the ranking.
The competitors were hampered by a strong easterly wind when jumping. The hill was in the shade, so the inrun was hard. On the other hand, the landing was already exposed to the sun and was soft. Georg Thoma took the lead right after the first round, he and Knutsen jumped the most evenly. Strong gusts of wind repeatedly caused interruptions. If a jumper was hit by a gust of wind, an "emergency landing" was inevitable. There were also a relatively large number of falls, but they were generally mild. Weißpflog delivered a surprise. Köstinger held up quite well, while Heigenhauser did not have his best day and fell from 7th to 11th. While running, Thoma should only have lost around 11 seconds on Knutsen and around 40 seconds on Kisseljow to repeat his Squaw Valley gold medal. But the Black Forest (like many other combiners) had waxed too smooth, came off the track several times and fell three times.
