The Nigerians ran 38.20, which would've won semifinal heat 2. Only problem was, they were in heat 1, the much faster heat . . . and finished 7th. Per the usual rules, the top 3 teams from each heat advanced, plus the next 2 fastest teams. So, from the fast heat 1, the top 5 (USA, RSA, GBR, Japan, Italy) advanced, along with the top 3 (China France Canada) from slow heat 2, leaving Nigeria on the outside.
Shoot. I was looking forward to their advance.
