He won a bronze medal for the 66 kg class at the 2002 Asian Games in Busan, South Korea. He also captured two silver medals in the same division at the 2003 Asian Judo Championships in Jeju City, and at the 2004 Asian Judo Championships in Almaty, losing out to South Korea's Jung Bu-Kyung and Kazakhstan's Muratbek Kipshakbayev, respectively.
Dashdavaa made his official debut for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he competed for the men's half-lightweight class (66 kg). He defeated Greece's Giorgi Vazagashvili in the first preliminary round, before losing out his next match, by an ippon (full point) and a tomoe nage (circle throw), to Japan's Masato Uchishiba. Dashdavaa also qualified for the repechage rounds, but lost again by an ippon and a kuchiki taoshi (single leg takedown) to Argentina's Jorge Lencina.
