Summary

It is interesting that the three countries that medaled came out of the same heat, Heat 1.

Keeping in mind that only the top 3 finishers coming out of each Heat is sure to advance, one of those first 3 could easily not have made it out of the Heat unto the next round, the finals in this case.
