After the race, he was clearly frustrated that it was the times, rather than the placings, that determined who advanced.

"It's completely crazy, it's completely illogical," says the 26-year-old.

Larsson continues to assess the conditions.

I don't understand what the point is. There can be a huge difference in the wind between the heats. I don't know why they have rethought and reworked the system. Unbelievable, he says and continues:

Now I moved on, but it was a close call. But I'm angry that I had to stand there and hope and pray to all the different forces in the world.

Larsson will run the semi-final just after 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The men's 100-meter final will then take place at 10:47 p.m.
