- ↑ The Netherlands originally finished fifth in their heat with 3:04.72, however, because they were obstructed on the first changeover by the Ukrainian team and consequently dropped the baton, they lodged an appeal. They were allowed a re-run on the same day where they would have to run better than the last team qualified by time, but with 3:05.93 they failed to do so.
