Preliminary round
September 3, 1938, 4:20 p.m.
The preliminary round was carried out in three runs. The first three athletes per run - highlighted in light blue - qualified for the final. The fourth of the third heat was added as a finalist. It remains unclear why he, as the runner with the weakest time of all fourth-placed finishers, completed the final.
The division of the preliminary runs also raises questions again. The first run was occupied by only four athletes, while the other two races each had seven runners.
