Britain's Jemima Yeats-Brown lost out to Tokyo silver medallist Michaela Polleres of Austria in their round of 16 bout in the women's -70kg event in Paris.

The 29-year-old from Kent had beaten her opponent from Madagascar in her opening bout.

Yeats-Brown battled through almost two minutes of extra time against Polleres, who is a two-time European bronze medallist.

Both fighters were on two penalties but the Austrian came through with a Waza-ari.

Liam Pitchford was eliminated from the men's singles table tennis at the Olympics after a second-round defeat by Slovenia's Darko Jorgic in Paris.

Pitchford, 31, fought back after losing the first two sets to make the score 3-2, but Jorgic pulled clear with a dominant sixth set.

The Paris Olympics are Pitchford's fourth Games but he has never made it into the last 16, with Jorgic also knocking him out at the same stage at Tokyo 2020.

The last 16 begins at 14:00 BST on Wednesday.

Great Britain's women's team missed out on a successive Olympic bronze medal by 0.234 of a point.

The quartet of Alice Kinsella, Georgia-Mae Fenton, Becky Downie and Ruby Evans scored 164.263 points but it was just short of Brazil's tally.

Team USA, featuring the now five-time Olympic champion Simone Biles, won gold while Italy claimed silver.

Downie registered the highest uneven bars score of the final with an impressive 14.933, while Ruby Evans pulled off a strong 13.966 vault at her Games debut.

"We said ‘we would go all out’ and we left everything out there," Downie told ±«Óãtv Sport. "It is a shame it didn’t go our way today."

GB won women's team bronze at Tokyo 2020 for the first time since 1928. Of the team that featured in Japan, only Alice Kinsella remains because twins Jessica and Jennifer Gadirova were injured.

The disappointment for the women follows GB's men's fourth-place finish in the team final on Monday.
