In the women's category, the runners led by the 1960 Olympic champion, Helga Haase, came exclusively from the GDR performance centers TSC and Dynamo Berlin. Haase alone was able to keep up with the world's best on their competition routes, but it wasn't enough for a medal again.
In the men’s race, whose starters came from Inzell, Schweinfurt and Berlin, Gerd Zimmermann from Inzell achieved a remarkable seventh place over 10,000 meters.

After the jumping it looked like the repetition of the Olympic victory of 1960 in Squaw Valley for Georg Thoma. The Hinterzartener took first place. Fourth place for Roland Weißpflog and sixth place for Rainer Dietel rounded off the good jump result. In cross-country skiing, however, with the exception of Horst Möhwald, the fourth starter, all German athletes and Georg Thoma only got the bronze rank.

At the Olympic premiere of luge the German athletes won five of nine medals to be awarded, four of which were won by athletes from the GDR performance center SC Traktor Oberwiesenthal .
In the women's category, the previously unknown Ortrun Enderlein won ahead of her club mate and world champion from 1963, Ilse Geisler.
There was a triple success for the men, with the fourth starter, co-favorite and senior in the men's team, Fritz Nachmann, crashing in the first run.
In the doubles, the Germany I sled came in thankless 4th place, while the other, already medal-adorned, duo Köhler / Bonsack fell.

The purely West German women's team around the 1960 Olympic champion, Heidi Biebl, was unable to build on the success of Squaw Valley. However, Biebl finished fourth in two competitions.
As in 1960, the men's team, consisting of four West German and two East German athletes, was able to take back a medal, this time bronze.

With the three-time Four Hills Tournament winner and Olympic champion from 1960, Helmut Recknagel and Max Bolkart, also Four Hills Tournament winners, no medal jumped out for the jumping team in the end. Dieter Neuendorf was still bronze after the first round on the normal hill, but slipped to fifth place. German jumpers were also placed promisingly on the large hill, but it was only enough for fourth place, which Dieter Bokeloh took.
