Career
He celebrated the greatest successes of his active career in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when he was still starting for the Soviet Union. After its disintegration , it finally started for Estonia .
Levandi took part in three Winter Olympics, in 1988 for the Soviet Union, 1992 and 1994 for Estonia. At the 1988 Winter Olympics , he achieved the greatest success of his career with third place in the individual race. A year earlier, he and Sergei Tscherwjakow and Andrei Dundukow took third place in the 3 × 10 km team competition at the 1987 Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf . At the 1994 Winter Olympics , he just missed an Olympic medal together with Ago Markvardt and Magnar Freimuth in the team competition. The Estonian team finished fourth.
In the Nordic Combined World Cup , Levandi was second overall with four second and three third places in the 1989/90 season. However, he did not achieve a World Cup victory during his entire career.
