In 1971, Jiří Raška became the first Czechoslovakian to win the Four Hills Tournament. For the first time, an athlete who won three out of four events did not end up winning the tournament after Ingolf Mork lost twenty points to Raška and Hubac in Innsbruck.

For the first time in four years, Raška did not actually win any event in the tournament. It was a desolate year for the two host nations: No athlete from Germany or Austria placed in the Top 15 at any event.
