Tokyo: The challenge of Judoka Sushila Devi India at the Tokyo Olympics came to the early end when he lost his contest to Hungary Eva Csernoviczki, who qualified for the 16th round of the match against Funa Tonaki Japan, here on Saturday.
CSernoviczki, the 2012 London edition bronze winner, pinned Sushila for a full 20 seconds to claim the iPPon and won the 32 round of matches.

Sushila is the only Indian Judo athlete at the Olympics this year.
Sushila, who considered the boxing icon M C Mary Kom as an inspiration, started well against Hungary but flounded after that.
