Repechage Rule in Wrestling.

Repechage is an interesting rule in wrestling. According to the rules of Repechage Round, the wrestlers who lost to the Finalists need to play among themselves in 2 rounds and the winner of the Repechage Round gets to play with the losing semi-finalists to decide the bronze medal.

This rule helped India in a great way on August 20th 2008, when Sushil Kumar won the Bronze for India through the Repechage round only.
