He kept the good times rollin' in Paris, hitting the automatic qualifying mark of 66m on his second throw, tossing it 67,47m, the best mark of either qualifying round.

The reigning Olympic bronze medalist was the top returner off of the podium from Tokyo, and he needed just his first attempt to punch his ticket to the final, throwing 66.72m.

Reigning olympic champion Daniel Stahl was under a meter shy of the automatic mark, but still earned himself a spot in the final after a 65.16m toss on his opening throw. 

Australia's Matthew Denny had the second-best mark in the qualifying round, throwing 66.833 to take second behind Alekna. 

There will be no American men in the Olympic final.

The World Indoor champion out of Great Britain, Molly Caudery, opted to enter the competition at 4.55m, but unfortunately did not clear the bar.
