Kristoffer Jakobsen, one of Sweden's leading alpine skiers, has expressed doubts about continuing his career after a disappointing performance at the Olympic slalom event. After a series of crashes this winter, Jakobsen, who is considered one of the few standout male skiers from Sweden, highlighted the difficulties of staying motivated in light of multiple failures and a lack of organizational support. The 31-year-old noted that he had to start the season without a coach, leading him to make poor decisions regarding his equipment and strategy.

The current season has been particularly challenging for Jakobsen, and he emphasized the need for a stable and well-organized support system as essential for his future participation in alpine skiing. At one point, it looked as though Sweden might not send any male alpine skiers to the Olympics for the first time. However, in a last-minute decision, both Jakobsen and rising star Fabian Ax Swartz were granted Olympic berths by the Swedish Olympic Committee, allowing them to compete despite their struggles.

As the alpine skiing season progresses, Jakobsen's potential departure could be a significant loss for Swedish skiing, raising concerns about the future of the men's alpine team. With the pressures of competition and personal challenges weighing heavily on him, the upcoming season will be crucial both for his career trajectory and for the overall strength of the national team in international competitions.
