Lithuania did its best to hold off the powerhouse finish of ROM and led by a length
over ROM with 500 meters to go. That is when ROM's Lipa and Cochela turned on the after
burners and won by 2 lengths over LTU at the finish, as predicted. A color instant replay
of this race is provided. Turning gold means ROM is closing on LTU in the 3rd 500, and FRA
and SUI turning silver in the last 500 means they were closing on LTU in that interval,
but still falling back on ROM. ROM advances to the finals.LANE CREW RELATIVE POSITIONS ELAPSED SPLIT
