First round

The first round consisted of two heats. The four fastest competitors per heat (plus four fastest losers) advanced to the final.[4]

In addition, the track referee ruled that Zoe Buckman and Sarah McDonald were sufficiently impeded by Winny Chebet (who fell during the second heat) to merit being advanced to the final.[5]
