Career

At the 2021 World Championships, Selevko placed 24th in the short program, 15th in the free skate, and 16th overall. As a result of his placement, Estonia earned an Olympic spot in men's singles.

Selevko was nominated to represent Estonia at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[1] He dislocated his shoulder in training a couple of days before the short program of the men's event.[2] He managed to compete but finished twenty-eighth in the segment and did not advance to the free skate.[3]
