The competition took place at "Olympiaschanze" with a K-Point of 80 meters. This was not reached to difficult snow conditions, so the winner's lengths were 74.5 meters and 75 meters respectively ^[1]. Following his silver medal at the 1936 Winter Olympics, Sven Eriksson assumed the name Sven Selånger after his home town because there were so many Swedes with the surname of Eriksson.
