Pahal clocked 52.59s in the repechage round, a time slower than her 52.51s finish in the first round.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 24-year-old did not secure a semifinal as only the top athletes in each heat, along with the two best in repechage overall, advanced.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At Paris 2024, a repechage round introduced for all individual track events from 200m to 1500m (including hurdles). The new format covers a total of six different distances in both men's and women's races, which include four rounds instead of the usual three.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the new repechage format, athletes who do not qualify by placing in round one heats, will have a second chance to qualify for the semi-finals by participating in repechage heats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This new repechage format will replace the former system, when athletes would advance through fastest times, sometimes known as 'lucky losers' in addition to the top placings in the heats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
