Semifinals were named based on which finals they fed, with each semifinal having two possible finals. With 10 boats in heats, the best boats qualify directly for "Final A". All other boats progress to the repechage round, which offers a second chance to qualify for "Final A". Unsuccessful boats from the repechage must proceed to final B, w ...
