Career
In the 2004–05 and 2005–06 season, Kelemen competed on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series and at the World Junior Championships. In 2007, he won his first senior national title and was given his debut at the European Championships and senior World Championships.
At the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy, Kelemen earned a spot for Romania in the Olympic men's event. He began training in California and qualified for the free skate for the first time in his career at the 2010 European Championships.[1]:{{{3}}} He then competed at the 2010 Olympics, placing 29th.[2]:{{{3}}}
Kelemen placed a career-best 14th at the 2012 European Championships. In August 2012, he decided to train in Switzerland with Gheorghe Chiper;[3]:{{{3}}} he also works in Switzerland as he receives little support from the Romanian skating association.[4]:{{{3}}} Kelemen earned another Olympic berth for Romania at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy. At the 2014 Winter Olympics, he qualified for the free skate and finished 23rd.
Personal life
Kelemen is of Hungarian descent.[5]:{{{3}}} He lost the sight in his right eye at age seven,[6]:{{{3}}} following an accident involving an aerosol can.[citation needed] He is required to sign an annual waiver declaring that he is competing "on his own responsibility."[6]:{{{3}}} Due to his vision impairment, Kelemen fails the yearly physical Romania requires of its athletes, making him ineligible for government funding for his training and coaching. Keleman has to pay for everything himself, though Romania did finance his trip to Sochi.[citation needed]
