In his first Olympic final, it was a sixth place for 33-year-old Petter Menning.
There he did not get quite as good a start as in the heat and semis, and he did not manage to paddle to a medal placement in K1 200 meters.
The Swede finished at Sea Forest Waterway in Tokyo in the time of 35,562, four tenths behind the bronze medalist Liam Heath and just over half a second behind the winner Sondor Totka.
The Hungarian became Olympic champion with only a four hundredths margin down to the Italian Manfredi Rizza.
In K1 500 meters, Linnea Stensils will paddle in the final, which will be decided around half past five, Swedish time.
