Despite a noisy charge, with a shoulder injury a month before the opening of the Olympics, javelin thrower Kim Amb managed to throw the best of the season in his first attempt.
82.40, a length that was shorter than the qualifying limit of 83.50.
Therefore, it became a nervous wait for the 31-year-old if more than five would throw better in the second qualifying group.
And it was just five who did it, and Amb finished as the twelfth and last man.
The final, which will be the Swede's first after being one and a half meters away in both the London Olympics and the Rio Olympics, will be decided on Saturday the seventh of August, at 13.00 Swedish time.
