    Lucy Renshall described Judo as a “cruel sport” after suffering defeat to Lubjana Piovesana at the Paris Olympics .

    The Team GB athlete was eliminated in the women’s Judo - 63kg event in the second round.

    Her opponent Piovesana, who was a GB athlete until 2021 but now represents Austria, secured a 1-0 win in golden score.

    “Judo is such a cruel sport,” Renshall admitted through tears in an interview with BBC Sport.

    “The last 12 weeks have probably been the best 12 weeks of training I’ve ever done... I felt I had more to give.”
