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 struggled for the main part of the fight until he made a small mistake, which proved to be a disaster for Indians and cost him.
It will always be difficult for 26-year-old children from Manipur in the world’s main sports competition.
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.
Sushila, which competes in the 48KG category, has been eligible for its first game through a continental quota.
