There were 15 teams who took part in this event. Two heats were held. The heat in which a team competed did not formally matter for advancement, as the teams with the top eight times from the both field qualified for the finals.
Japan won the gold medal with 3 minutes 34.10 seconds. China was disqualified because of Wang Shuai's false start, although they reached the terminal first.
