The Men’s Round 1 consists of three separate heats at 7:00 AM, 7:30 AM, and 8:00 AM. In each heat, the top 10 finishers automatically qualify for the semi-finals. The bottom 6 finishers in each heat will enter the consolation races, unless they are one of the two fastest athletes who did not qualify, referred to as lucky losers, who will still advance to the semi-finals. The Women’s Round 1 takes place at 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM. The top 8 finishers from each semi-final will move on to the finals, while the remaining 8 participants will compete in the consolation races.
The Men’s semi-finals are held at 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM. The semi-final participants include half of the top 10 finishers from each Round 1 heat, as well as the two lucky losers. In the semi-finals, the top 8 finishers from each race advance to the finals. The Men’s consolation race takes place at 10:30 AM, and it includes the bottom 6 finishers from each Men’s Round 1 race, except the lucky losers. The Women’s consolation race is held at 11:00 AM and includes the bottom 8 finishers from the Women’s semi-finals.
The Women’s final occurs at 11:30 AM, consisting of the top 8 finishers from each Women’s semi-final. The Men’s final takes place at 12:00 PM, consisting of the top 8 finishers from each Men’s semi-final.
To promote recovery equity, efforts are made to ensure that athletes advancing to the next stage have as similar rest periods as possible between their heats. This helps balance recovery time, minimizing any disadvantage caused by racing earlier or later in the initial rounds. Although perfect alignment isn't always achievable, the goal is to provide fair and equitable recovery opportunities to enhance performance quality for all participants.
This is just a tentative schedule and is subject to change prior to race day.
