Runners who do not advance from the trials get a chance to re-qualify before the semi-finals, a novelty that drew attention at the men's 110-meter hurdles earlier during the Olympic Games in Paris.
There, a slightly injured Freddie Crittenden chose to jog through his trial heat to get two more days to recover from his injury before the re-qualification.
Many thought Crittenden's effort went against the spirit of sports.
For Andreas Kramer, the concern before the re-qualification is about other factors. He does not want to judge the new system before he has even tried it, but notes that it will be a packed schedule for the runners who have to run the re-qualification.
Qualifying for the final via the re-qualification is a tough way. It's an extra race, and if you're going to be there and perform and then run in a semi-final and possibly in a final... Then it's four races in four days, and that's not optimal, says the blue-and-yellow running star.
Kramer runs his trial on Wednesday morning and hopes to secure a top 3 placement in his heat to go straight to the semi-final and get a rest day.
Then, there's already a dream of an Olympic Games final in the back of his mind, a goal that feels within reach after the 27-year-old's fantastic summer on the tracks.
Three times, Kramer has improved the Swedish record – a total of nearly one and a half seconds down to 1:43.13.
My goal is, of course, to be in the final, then it's a long way for everyone. It's not just about lining up at the starting line for the favourites either. I'm coming in with good form and good feeling and am super charged.
