There are 3 qualification heats with 3 runners starting at the same time -- runners do not know which heat there are in, nor which heat other runners they might catch or be caught by are in. The top 15 finishers in each heat will advance to the final tomorrow afternoon. 

The O world has been buzzing about sprinting in Venice for two years! Now it's finally time to get your (crazy) sprint on!
