The 29-year-old, gold medallist at Birmingham 2022, was beaten by South Korea’s Yoon Hyunji in the opening round of the under-78kg tournament.
Reid was under pressure after receiving two penalties inside the opening two minutes of the contest, the first for non-combativity and the second for a false attack.
