Repechage round provides a wrestler who loses against either of the finalists with a chance to win the bronze. To start with, Anshu will lock horns with Russian Olympic Committee's (ROC) Valeria Koblova in match no.1 of the repechage. If she manages to win the match, she will advance to the repechage match no.2. If she doesn’t, then she will have to face elimination from the event.

If Anshu wins, she will next be up against Bulgaria’s Evelina Nikolova. The second repechage game is the bronze medal match or a third-place playoff. Interestingly, Kurachkina beat Koblova in the quarterfinal and Nikolova in the semi-final. For the time being, it remains to be seen if Anshu can turn her fortunes around in the repechage round.
