The existing EM record was not set and not improved at these European championships, but only narrowly missed with 57 hundredths of a second. With three seasons under three minutes in the final, the level was very high.
Preliminary round
Here there was a doping-related disqualification: Maxim Dyldin , who was also disqualified in the 400-meter individual race, was a member of the Russian relay. She initially took second place in the final, but was also disqualified after Dyldin's doping violation became known.
As a result, two teams in particular were disadvantaged:
- France received its bronze medal long after the European Championships and was also unable to take part in the award ceremony.
- Spain had actually qualified for the final, but could not be there because of the late disqualification of the Russian relay.

The preliminary round was held in two runs. The first three seasons per run - highlighted in light blue - as well as the two fastest teams - highlighted in light green - qualified for the final.
Forward 1
In the first run, the Dutch relay team from Ukraine obstructed the crowd. After the Netherlands protested, Ukraine was disqualified and, after the two preliminary heats, the Dutch relay was given the right to run again in a race with only this relay in order to try to achieve the necessary time of 3 for the final qualification: 04.07 min to be beaten. In the first race, the Dutch team narrowly missed the right to participate in the finals with 3: 04.72 minutes. With a time of 3: 05.93 min, however, the Dutch did not achieve their set goal in the re-run and were therefore not in the final.
