There was also a repechage to determine the winners of the two bronze medals. Each judoka who had lost to a semifinalist competed in the repechage. The two judokas who lost in the semifinals faced the winner of the opposite half of the bracket's repechage in bronze medal bouts.
A second contest was held to determine the bronze medal winners. Judokas who had been eliminated in the semifinals competed against each other, and then those losers faced the victor from the opposing half of the bracket in a separate contest for the bronze medals.
