Earlier in the process, she placed third and booked her place on the Nepalese team from the Asian Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Bangkok, Thailand. She crashed out in an immediate 0–4 defeat to Chinese Taipei’s Chen Shih-hsin in her opening match, but slipped directly into the repechage bracket for her chance of Nepal’s first Olympic medal in history, following Chen’s progress towards the final. In the repechage, Baidya fell short in her first playoff to Colombia’s Gladys Mora with a 0–4 decision and a disputable one-point deduction for landing a kick on her opponent’s head, relegating Baidya to seventh.
