American Brendan Hansen, back at the Olympics once again after shunning retirement for another chance to win an individual gold medal, will at least have a shot at it.

Hansen qualified for the final of the 100-meter breaststroke Saturday night at the London Games, sneaking in with the eighth and final spot by .11 seconds.

Cancer survivor Eric Shanteau of the U.S. didn't make it, coming in 11th in the semifinals.

Hansen has two Olympic gold medals, but both came in relays. He won a silver and bronze medal in individual events at the 2004 Athens Games.
