Dublin’s Jack Woolley was heartbroken after crashing out of the Olympics in Tokyo today, the 22-year-old taekwondo fighter losing his opening 58kg fight in the dying seconds to Argentina’s Lucas Guzman.

Woolley created history just by being there, Ireland’s first ever representative in Olympic taekwondo, and hopes were high he could contend for a medal, going in as the sixth-ranked fighter.
