Semifinals

The semifinals were conducted on 18 August. The A, B, and C semifinals were for those rowers who still had a chance at medalling, and the top two in each of those semifinals moved on to the A final (top 6 places), the next two to the B final (places 7-12), and the bottom two in each to the C final (13-18). The D and E semifinals were consolation semis and the rowers in them had already been eliminated from medal contention; the top three in each moved to the D final (places 19-24) and the rest moved to E final (places 25-29).

Hacker is the returning Bronze medalist, a former World Champion, and holder of the World's best time. Ivo Yanakiev, who finishes second in Semi B, goes on to win a Bronze medal.
