Their argument was that it gives lesser known nations a chance to medal which honestly is something you see pretty often on a weaker side of the bracket. You’ll have countries like Moldova, Colombia, or one of the Russian transfers win for some lesser known wrestling country and UWW since the change in name and leadership hasn’t changed it and they stick to it with the world championships for continuity. Repechage is their preferred stance due to a lot of the reasons below but could definitely be improved upon. If you ask me just wrestle a true third match you simultaneously open up the medal table for two more weights in the olympics by eliminating 6 medals in each style but then that goes back on the original premise of double bronze.
