Adelboden, Wengen, Kitzbühel – in all the classic venues of the Alpine World Cup, he stood on his feet.
Most recently in Kitzbühel, the 30-year-old Swede scored a direct hit in the second run – an ascent that almost took him all the way to the podium. But a mere two hundredths of a second were missing, and he had to settle for fourth place.
Jakobsen made a direct effort in tonight's first run, but after the second intermediate time, he had fallen behind in terms of time.
And shortly after, it was all over, when he straddled a gate.
Overall, it was a performance-wise weak Swedish evening. Fabian Ax Swartz, Gustav Wissting, William Hansson, and Adam Hofstedt broke off in the first run or finished outside the top 30 who qualified for the second run.
Linus Strasser led before the second run, but the German finished fourth. Instead, Norwegian Timon Haugan won, 20 hundredths ahead of Manuel Feller. Third came Feller's Austrian compatriot Fabio Gstrein.
Finn Eduard Hallberg made a great run in the second and was the fastest of all. It was enough for 15th place.
The evening slalom in Schladming was the last in the discipline before the World Championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm in a few weeks. The World Championship slalom will be decided on February 16.
