Notes[edit]
- ^ a b c Although only the top two places per heat were set to automatically advance, there was a three-way dead heat for 2nd place in the third heat. This meant that all three second-place finishers advanced, and because only twelve spots are available for the semifinals, there were two less time qualifiers than expected and Tereza Petržilková and Cátia Azevedo did not advance in accordance with rule 21.4 of the competition rules.[3] Petržilková protested the decision.
