The 32-year-old was eliminated in the first round of the men’s-60kg tournament by Azerbaijani Karamat Huseynov at the Nippon Budokan.
In total disappointment and tears, McKenzie said:
“At the moment, I’m mostly sad. I’ve put in a lot of work for this one tournament.
“Loads of things went wrong when I got over here, and I just pushed them aside and I tried to not let them affect me due to COVID and stuff like that.
“I’m strongly sorry for the people that put so much energy into me.
“My mum, a lot of the ones that love me — it just hurts to see that they’ve probably woken up to watch me.
“And I had one fight, and it didn’t go the way I wanted it to. I just want to go home.”
