Indian wrestler Anshu Malik, has a shot at the bronze medal despite losing her opening round match against Belarus' Iryna Kurachkina. However, Anshu will be competing for a bronze medal because of the repechage rule in wrestling. The bronze medalists in wrestling are decided after the repechage round, which basically allows a wrestler a second chance, if they went down against either one of the finalists.
