Grainne Walsh faced bitter disappointment in her opening fight in the women’s 66kg category in Paris today, the 28-year-old’s Olympics coming to an abrupt end after she lost 4-1 to Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary.

“The bottom line of all of this is just frustration,” said the Tullamore boxer. “She just smothered me from early on and was leaning all over me. I'm not blaming her for it. She did what she had to do to win the fight.”
