Nasaudrodro qualified for the two-member Fijian judo squad in the women's lightweight class (57 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and receiving a berth from the Oceania Championships in Noumea, New Caledonia. Being young and inexperienced in the senior tournament, Nasaudrodro immediately lost her opening match to highly credentialed British judoka Sophie Cox, who pinned and duly wrapped her on the tatami in a broken scarf hold (kuzure kesa gatame) within a minute.[2][3][4]
