| No more than a 1.3 seconds separated NED, CAN and the USA for the first 1500 meters of
this race. USA took a quarter length in the first 500, held it another 500 to the 1000,
and then NED moved through CAN and USA to win and advance to the finals. In fact, both NED
and CAN started to move back on the USA in the second 500 meter interval. CAN also moved
through the USA in the last 500 to place second, and the USA, last year's silver medalist
at Worlds, was third. Take a look at the instant replay of this race to guage the
movements of the crews down the course.
