Repechage was formerly widely used in fencing tournaments, but the majority have now abandoned it, an exception being United States Fencing Association Division I tournaments.
It takes a very short time to determine a winner in those sports mentioned above and they are intense and require a lot of stamina. Even if you are ranked No. That's why there is repechage to give one more chance to those who were knocked out by the finalists at earlier tournaments.
One thing that is very important to note is the rules of a sport are governed by the sport's governing body. Those rules have nothing to do with the rules of the Olympics.
