- Obviously I wanted to have one of the top three places, but I couldn't really make it, says Kramer to SVT Sport and is disappointed in the time right after the race.

- I would have liked to have a better time to be sure of moving on, it is no super-time and that may not be enough, thinks Kramer, a thought that proved to be right.

Kramer was offensive and was in the lead for most of the race. At the rally, things went a little slower and the favorite Donavan Brazier was able to slip up and win the heat at 1.46.04.

The first three in the heat went straight to the semi-finals and Kramer hoped to take one of the six best times. It was six heat.
