Round 3

Semifinals
In an unusual procedure, unexplained in the official report, the loser of the first semifinal raced against the team that had a bye in the second semifinal. The winner of this third semifinal advanced to the gold medal final (against the first semifinal's winner), while the loser took the bronze medal.
