At the junior level, he is the 2022 European Youth Olympic Festival champion, the 2021 JGP France II silver medalist, the 2021 JGP Slovenia silver medalist, 2024 JGP Turkey bronze medalist, and a 2020 Winter Youth Olympic champion in the team event. Levandi is the first men's singles skater from Estonia to win a Junior Grand Prix medal. [1]

Levandi made his junior international debut at the 2019 Halloween Cup in Budapest, where he finished fourth overall. He then earned fifth-place finishes at the Volvo Open Cup and the Tallinn Trophy before winning the bronze medal at the Golden Spin of Zagreb. Having missed the prior season, Levandi skipped the junior level entirely to compete at the senior level at the 2020 Estonian Championships. He finished fourth and was chosen to represent Estonia at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics.
At the Winter Youth Olympics, Levandi was thirteenth in the short program after issues with his blades, but scored eleventh in the free skate to finish twelfth overall.

He reflected on the event: "I was very happy with the draw, and now we are Youth Olympic champions." [7]
With the COVID-19 pandemic causing the cancellation of the Junior Grand Prix series, junior skaters had limited international competitive opportunities. Levandi began the season at the Tallinn Open Championships before he competed at the inaugural Budapest Trophy, where he won the gold medal. He then won the gold medal at the Tallinn Trophy. Competing at the senior level at the 2021 Estonian Championships, Levandi was third in the short program and second in the free skate to win the silver medal.

[1] With his teammates Solène Mazingue and Marko Jevgeni Gaidajenko winning bronze in ice dance, it was Estonia's first multi-medal performance on the JGP since the 2006 JGP Czech Republic. [9] At his second JGP event in Slovenia, Levandi rebounded from sixth after the short program to finish second in the free skate and overall to win his second silver medal of the series. [10] However, he did not qualify for the 2021–22 Junior Grand Prix Final due to the unique qualification procedure implemented as a result of the pandemic.
Levandi also made his senior international debut this season at the 2021 Lombardia Trophy, earning personal bests in the short program and combined total to finish seventh overall. [11] At his second Challenger Series event, the 2021 Finlandia Trophy, he again scored new personal bests to place seventh overall. Levandi again improved his short program personal best at the 2021 Cup of Austria en route to a sixth-place finish. [12]
Levandi won the silver medal at the Estonian Championships in December. The following month, he qualified to the free skate at the 2022 European Championships in his hometown of Tallinn, where he finished in fourteenth place. [12] Levandi was not selected for the Olympic or the World Championships teams, but was named to the 2022 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival and the 2022 World Junior Championships teams.
Levandi returned to the junior level at the 2022 European Youth Olympic Festival, where he finished first in both segments to comfortably win the gold medal by over 20 points.

At the 2024 World Junior Championships, Levandi finished in seventh place. He said that he felt he had made progress that season by landing more difficult jumps in practice, though not yet in competition, and this would be his focus during the off-season. [15]
Levandi started the season by returning to the Junior Grand Prix series, taking bronze at 2024 JGP Turkey and finishing sixth at 2024 JGP Slovenia. [16] [12] Going on to compete on the 2024–25 ISU Challenger Series, Levandi finished eleventh at the 2024 CS Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur, fifth at the 2024 CS Tallinn Trophy, and fifth at the 2024 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb.
