They were allowed a re-run on the same day where they would have to run better than the last team qualified by time, but with 3:05.93 they failed to do so. https://web.archive.org/web/20150928170030/http://www.european-athletics-statistics.org/db/eurathresults.php?CID=12853650 2015-09-28 12 2 3 Batuhan Altıntaş, Halit Kiliç, İlham Tanui Özbilen, Yavuz Can 3:07.68 13 1 8 Festus Asante, Andreas Bube, Nick Ekelund-Arenander, Nicklas Hyde 3:08.12 14 2 6 Silvan Lutz, Daniele Angelella, Philipp Weissenberger, Johannes Wagner 3:08.63 SB 15 2 1 Staša Vrhovec, Mateo Kovačić, Yann Eloi Senjarić, Mateo Ružić 3:12.73 16 1 6 Vitaliy Butrym, Yevhen Hutsol, Danylo Danylenko, Volodymyr Burakov 9:99.99 DSQ R 163.2Jostling, obstruction Final Rank Lane Nation Athletes Time Notes 5 Conrad Williams, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Michael Bingham, Martyn Rooney 2:58.79 EL 9 DQ 3 Maksim Dyldin, Pavel Ivashko, Nikita Uglov, Vladimir Krasnov DQ (2:59.38) NR 4 Rafał Omelko, Kacper Kozłowski, Łukasz Krawczuk, Jakub Krzewina 2:59.85 SB 6 Mame-Ibra Anne, Teddy Venel, Mamoudou Hanne, Thomas Jordier 2:59.89 SB 4 8 Brian Gregan, Mark English, Richard Morrissey, Thomas Barr 3:01.67 NR 5 7 Kamghe Gaba, Miguel Rigau, Jonas Plass, Thomas Schneider 3:01.70 SB 6 2 Julien Watrin, Kevin Borlée, Michaël Bultheel, Stef Vanhaeren 3:02.60 SB 7 1 Jan Tesař, Daniel Němeček, Michal Desenský, Patrik Šorm 3:04.56 References Round 1 Results Final Results Category:4 x 400 metres relay at the European Athletics Championships Category:Men's events at the 2014 European Athletics Championships
