Baasankhüü's first major international success was the 2022 Paris Grand Slam where she won the silver medal, having lost to the Japanese Natsumi Tsunoda.[2][3] She had reached the round of 16 stage at the 2022 and 2023 World Championships. At the 2022 Asian Games held in September 2023, Baasankhüü finished in seventh place.[2]

Baasankhüü defeated South Korean Lee Hye-kyeong to win the gold medal at the 2024 Asian Championships and was victorious at the 2024 Dushanbe Grand Slam. At the 2024 World Championships in May, she reached the final, which she won against the Italian Assunta Scutto with a waza-ari by immobilization following a failed attack by Scutto at the very end of the fight.[4][5] She won the silver medal in the -48 kg event at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, having again lost to Tsunoda.[6]
