The hunt for an Olympic ticket continues to stall. In Wengen, Kristoffer Jakobsen suffered another setback - he crashed out for the fifth time this season.

The Swedish slalom skier has had a difficult season. Halfway through the winter, the 31-year-old still has no World Cup points - and therefore no Olympic berth.

With only a few days left until the selection, the situation is increasingly worrying.

In Wengen, Switzerland, the story was the same. Jakobsen only recorded two intermediate times before his run ended prematurely. In seven attempts this season, the Swede has crashed out five times.

None of the Swedish men have yet secured a place at the Milano-Cortina Olympics in February.
