The 23-year-old beat home favourite Daria Davydova, 26, in the third-fourth place play-off in Russia.

With the contest scoreless, Livesey earned the winning point with a counter attack with 15 seconds remaining.

Britons Kelly Edwards (-52kg), Alice Schlesinger (-63kg), Natalie Powell (-78kg), Max Stewart (-90kg) and Ben Fletcher (-100kg) are also in Russia.

The Grand Slam is one of the key events in the countdown to the 2017 World Judo Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in August.
