TODAY LIVE | How is Selevko doing in the short program at the Olympics?

Figure skater Aleksandr Selevko is set to perform his short program in the men's singles at the upcoming Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.

Aleksandr Selevko, a 24-year-old figure skater, will present his short program in the men's singles event at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics tonight. The live broadcast by ETV+ begins at 20:30, featuring commentary from Anu SÀÀrits and Liina-Grete Lilender, with reporter Maarja VÀrv on site. This marks Selevko's second appearance at the Olympics, where he previously finished 28th in Beijing, but he comes with recent successes, including a silver medal at the European Championships and a fifth-place finish at the same event this year.

During a training session on Sunday evening at the main arena, Selevko demonstrated good stability in his quadruple jumps, stating that he felt confident about his performance. He mentioned, "My toe loop went well, there were no issues at all." He also noted that his quadruple lutz was acceptable and expressed satisfaction with his overall routine despite a minor mistake. Selevko highlighted that he enjoys skating on the current ice and believes he is in good form heading into the competition.

With a competitive field of 29 athletes in the men's singles, Selevko will be the 19th skater to perform, placing him in the second-to-last group. His past experience and recent performances suggest he has the potential to make a significant impact in the event, which has garnered attention as part of the Winter Olympic games.
