Very interesting,
Take the top four of France, Australia , and the US, and here's what you've got:
FR..........3:12.42
AUS........3:13.01
USA........3:14.19
Not sure where FR and AUS are in their olympic preparations, but the USA hasn't had their trials yet, so it's not hard to see making up the difference.
