Jamaican Judoka Ashley McKenzie has been eliminated from the men’s 60kg Judo competition at the Paris Olympics at the Round of 16 stage after suffering a 1-0 loss to Turkey’s Salih Yildiz.

Yildiz secured a 1-0 victory over the Great Britain-born Jamaican by throwing a kata-guruma, one of the traditional forty throws of Judo.

McKenzie made history earlier on Saturday with his 10-0 win over Yemen’s Hesham Makabr in preliminary rounds, his first Olympic win competing for the land of wood and water.
