Estonian figure skater Aleksandr Selevko began his free skate program at the Milan-Cortina Olympics strongly, successfully executing a quadruple toe loop and a cascade combination of triples. However, he faced significant challenges later in the performance, leading to a score of 154.80 points in the free skate, which is over 12 points lower than his personal best of 236.82 points in total. After the performance, Selevko expressed disappointment over his lack of energy in the second half of the program, indicating fatigue and uncertainty about why he struggled toward the end.

Selevko mentioned that he made adjustments to his jump sequence since the European Championships held in Sheffield in January, though he did not attribute his second-half performance issues to those changes. He remarked, "Everything was okay, I changed the first half; the second half was normal," suggesting that he feels confident in his overall capabilities despite the disappointing performance. This free skate result highlights the pressures athletes face at major competitions, where even slight variations in performance can lead to substantial differences in scoring.

The figure skating event at the Olympics is highly competitive, adding historical significance to Selevko's journey as he represents Estonia on this global stage. His performance will continue to be analyzed as he aims to improve in future competitions, building resilience and striving to overcome the fatigue that plagued his performance during this pivotal event.
