Why in the womens race were the Brits put in lane 6 if Greece were the fastest qualifiers? I thought they were putting the fastest ones in 6? I don't understand all the moving of lanes because of the cross wind or how they're choosing who moves.

The only consistency in it is that all the Brits have been moved to lane 6 it seems.

The commentators then said it's a pretty random draw, but the winners of the semi will generally get 5 or 6. The Brits have had 6 each time so far though
