No, preliminary track and field events act as a qualifying round for final rounds in the same event. Some events will even have multiple preliminary rounds. For example, at the Olympic 400 meter dash, there is first a preliminary round of 7 heats, from which the top three finishers in each heat automatically advance, then the 3 fastest times overall (for a total of 24 runners). Then there is a semifinal round, where the runners will race again in 3 heats with the top 2 runners automatically advancing, followed by the 2 fastest overall times (for a total of 8 runners). Then the final heat is run, with the top three finishers receiving medals, regardless of how they performed in previous rounds.
