The first podium of the season looks like having to wait a little longer for Kristoffer Jakobsen.

He finished fourth during the premiere just over a week ago - and had a tough first run in the Italian Madonna di Campiglio on Thursday.

In fact, the 28-year-old was on the verge of missing the cutoff (top 30) to run in the second heat, but ended up 27th.

Up to the podium, Jakobsen has 1.16 seconds.

He is 1.71 behind Norwegian star Lucas Bråthen who leads.
