Jamaican Judoka Ashley McKenzie through to men's 60kg round of 16
McKenzie, the first Jamaican athlete to compete at the Paris Olympic Games, defeated Makabr by throwing a tai otoshi. He received one yellow card, while his opponent, Makabr received two.
The United Kingdom-based McKenzie, who is making his fourth Olympic Games—first under the Jamaican flag—displayed his immense ability ahead of the Games when he won an historic bronze medal at the Central American and Caribbean Games (CAC) for Jamaica in El Salvador last year.
McKenzie, 35, previously represented the UK at his last two Olympic Games.
His opponent for the next round is Salih Yildiz of Turkey.
