Receives the good news in SVT's broadcast

- I think I'm on, am I?

Hermansson asked directly in SVT's broadcast from Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

And of course that was enough.

She stated that 4.06.30 was enough for the semifinals.

- I am very happy, which I would have been regardless.

It's personal best.

I had palpitations all over my body over having to wait for the last heat, said Hermansson, who was ninth in the second heat, a race won by pre-favorite Faith Kipyegon at 4.04.53.

The second Swede Yolanda Ngaramabe finished eighth in the first heat of 4.09.15 and was eliminated.

4.08.43 was the last time to reach the semifinals.
