With a final time of 4.13.111 (almost 2 seconds faster than their qualifying time of 4.15.036), the Italian women's quartet decisively beat Great Britain (4.15.674) and will compete in the gold final against Germany, which had previously convincingly defeated Switzerland in 4.15.515.

Remarkable was the performance of the experienced Italian quartet composed of Martina Alzini, Chiara Consonni, Martina Fidanza, and Vittoria Guazzini, who triumphed over the highly-rated British team with a 2-second advantage, recording an excellent time that raises hopes for the European title. Great Britain and France (4.20.559) will compete for the bronze medal.

The Danish team will challenge Great Britain for the title, while Italy will face Switzerland, which rode in 3.53.625.
