Kristoffer Jakobsen, along with fellow athlete Fabian Ax Swartz, will represent Sweden in alpine skiing at the upcoming Winter Olympics. While Ax Swartz earned his Olympic spot based on future potential criteria, Jakobsen secured his ticket only after achieving a notable 13th place finish at Kitzbühel, Austria, on January 25, marking the first time this season he completed two runs successfully. Despite describing his season as particularly difficult, Jakobsen shares that his training sessions have improved since the Kitzbühel event, leading to a boost in his confidence.

The struggles of this season prompted Jakobsen to switch his ski boots in hopes of reducing the number of disqualifications he faced during races. After experimenting with various options, he has returned to his previous boots, which he feels more comfortable in. His past experience includes having placed in the top ten at the Olympics, fueling his ambition to achieve an even higher placement this time around. As the Winter Olympics approach, Jakobsen aims to harness his improved training and confidence to make a significant impact in his events.

With the Winter Olympics set to take place in 2026, both Jakobsen and Ax Swartz represent Sweden's alpine skiing hopes, with their performances at upcoming competitions playing a crucial role in how they will be positioned on the international stage. Jakobsen, in particular, is determined to utilize his previous Olympic experience and current momentum from training to strive for the best possible results in the upcoming games.
