    What do the numbers in brackets after the event heat name mean in the London Olympics.

    These appear on my screen.

    Thanks

    Got an example of what you've seen? There would be codes after the event names for the Paralympics, but that doesn't start for another couple of weeks yet.

    Are they just the current round and the total number of rounds, eg, semi final 1 of 3?

    The semifinal 1/3 means there is actually 3 semi's, probably with 2 winners and then 2 fastest losers through to the final.

    Not seen the 1/20 before, but I'd guess that is just saying heat 1 for a total of 20 competitors.
