Slalom specialist Kristoffer Jakobsen had a disastrous start to the Olympic season. The Swede was not allowed to run the second run in the slalom World Cup premiere in Levi, Finland.

When Kristoffer Jakobsen crossed the finish line in the first run, he was a full 2.75 seconds behind leader Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, Brazil, and had by far the worst time of anyone who had made it down the hill.

Rider after rider continued to perform better times than the 31-year-old and in the end he was outside the top 30 who were allowed to continue the competition.

There will be no Swedes in the second run. Gustav Wissting (+3.73) and William Hansson (+3.74) were too slow and Fabian Ax Swartz crashed out.
