Career
Kaydashova qualified for an all-female Uzbek taekwondo squad in the women"s featherweight class (57 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing second behind Thailand"s Nootcharin Sukkhongdumnoen and granting a berth from the Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand. Kaydashova moved directly into the quarterfinals with a first round bye in a provisional seeding draw, but she crashed out early to Mexico"s Iridia Salazar on the referee"s decision after their match ended in a 7–7 tie. With Salazar losing the semifinal bout to South of Korea"s Jang Ji-won, Kaydashova denied her chance to compete for the Olympic bronze medal in the repechage.
