Giles bows out with golden score defeat in the last 16
Britain's Chelsie Giles and Brazil's Larissa Pimenta compete during their women -52 kg elimination round match in team judo competition at Champ-de-Mars Arena during the 2024 Summer Olympics, July 28, 2024, in Paris, France

BRITISH judoka Chelsie Giles’s hopes of making the Olympic podium again were ended by a golden score defeat to Brazil’s Larissa Pimenta today.

Giles, bronze medallist in Tokyo three years ago, went out in the last 16 of the -52kg category, much to her obvious disappointment.

“It was just a very tactical game, I’ve fought her several times before,” said Giles.
