At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Dashdavaa switched to a heavier class by competing in the men's lightweight division. He defeated United States' Ryan Reser and Poland's Krzysztof Wiłkomirski in the preliminary rounds, before losing out the quarterfinal match, by an ippon and an uchi mata (inner thigh throw), to Iran's Ali Maloumat.[5][6] Because his opponent advanced further into the semi-finals, Dashdavaa offered another shot for the bronze medal by entering the repechage rounds. Unfortunately, he finished only in ninth place, after losing out the second repechage bout to Japan's Yusuke Kanamaru, who successfully scored a waza-ari (half-point) and an o goshi (full hip throw), at the end of the five-minute period.[7]
