2/2 Cadet with Doublestrike Lost Combat to a 4/4 Trample Beast
I had a 2/2 Cadet that was granted doublestrike by Yuriko, Blade of the Mighty. My opponent had a Garruk out. My token was attacking the Garruk, either forcing the trade (and leaving Garruk open to attack on my next turn) or letting his Garruk die. When my opponent blocked my doublestriker with his 4/4, there was no first-strike combat damage step, instead his token just beat my attacker in combat, very clearly costing me the game, which then knocked me out of contention for my sealed event.
Conditions that may or may not be relevant for reproduction: Both creatures in combat were tokens (2/2 Cadet, 4/4 Beast w/ Trample), my token did not naturally have doublestrike, and was instead granted it by Yuriko, and my Cadet was not attacking my opponent, but their planeswalker.
I have attached a log file from the game.

Your token did not have double strike, because Yuriko did not grant that ability to it. That only happens to a creature that attacks alone, and attacks a PLAYER, not their planeswalkers or battles they defend.
