The top 3 crews advance to the A/B semi-finals and the 4th crew is
eliminated.
Prediction
AUT, BEL and CUB should place 1-2-3 to advance to the A/B semi-finals. The race
prediction below shows AUT, but is based on a mix of heat times in which AUT seems to have
backed off considerably in the last 500 meters.
