Great Britain has the second fastest national time out of all the countries competing in the finals, with a time of 2:56.60 seconds. Though they received so far only five Olympic medals for track and field at the 2012 Games, they have an all-time total of 189 track and field medals, 49 of them being gold. They come in third as the nation with the most track and field medals.

Team Russia did not do so well in the round 1 event, ranks in seventh place, but they do rank third in standing for track and field medals received in the 2012 Olympics. They also have 60 track and field medals received over the span of all the Olympics.
