Adamczyková thus set out on the track with the maximum possible loss of four seconds, which is awarded in the event of a fall or a large distance from a male member of the team. Although the twenty-nine-year-old Czech star closed the gap on the trio of rivals, she did not get out of the last fourth place on a track slowed down by rain.
The British Huw Nightingale and Charlotte Bankes won, who partly made up for the disappointment of the individual race, in which she was eliminated in the round of 16 as the defending gold medalist. Austrians with Wednesday's champion Jakob Dusek finished second, France was third. The British and French were opponents of the Czech team in the quarter-finals.
