- ^ 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.※ Archived 2015-09-28 at the Wayback Machine
