Top 3 crews advance to A/B semi-finals. Others to FC final.
Prediction
This is going to be a barn-burner finish. All 5 crews should be within a length and a
quarter of each other with 500 meters to go. RUS is the only sure qualifier, and CHI, DEN
and JPN seem to have saved themselves in the last 500 of their heats, while IRL seems to
have pressed all the way to the finish in the last 500. Despite the indication on the
following race prediction report, which is a straight mix of each crew's times in their
heats, expect the battale between DEN, CHI and JPN to decide the 2nd and 3rd qualifying
spots in the last 500, with the edge for 2nd going to the DEN World Champions and the 3rd
slot to either CHI or JPN.
