The Rio Olympics is over for two of Australia's youngest judokas.
Debutants Joshua Katz and Chloe Rayner lasted a combined 161 seconds before losing in the first round on day one of the Games.
Katz, 18, went down to Uzbekistan's Diyorbek Urozboev by ippon - a match-winning move in judo - in the men's under-60kg division.

Australia has five other judo exponents in the tournament, including Katz's older brother Nathan.
