of the coronavirus pandemic. 2020–21 season Vasiljevs began the season at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, which, due to pandemic-related travel restrictions, was attended only by skaters from and training in Europe; Vasiljevs was considered one of the pre-event favourites. Only fifth in the short program, he won the free skate and the gold medal, in the process landing a quad Salchow for the first time. Vasiljevs was also assigned to compete at the 2020 Internationaux de France, but this event was also cancelled as a result of the pandemic. Vasiljevs placed eighteenth at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm. This result qualified one men's berth for Latvia at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. 2021–22 season Vasiljevs began the season at the Olympic test event, the 2021 Asian Open, where he placed fourth. His first Grand Prix event was scheduled to be the 2021 Cup of China, but following its cancellation, he was reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia in Turin. He was fourth at that event as well with new person bests in the free skate and total score, and praised the "overwhelming feeling" of competing for an audience again. At his second event, the 2021 Internationaux de France, Vasiljevs was second in the short program with a new personal best score. Seventh in the free skate after errors on both his quad Salchow attempt and one of his triple Axels, he again finished fourth overall while still setting new personal bests again. At the 2022 European Championships, Vasiljevs placed sixth after the short program, skating cleanly. In the free skate, Vasiljevs landed a quad Salchow and skated the rest of his program cleanly to rise to bronze medal position in the free skate and overall, making the podium for the first time at Europeans. He improved his personal best scores in all segments at the event, and his medal marked the first medal for Latvia at the European Championships in any discipline. He called it "a milestone in my journey that I don’t know where it leads." Named to his second Latvian team for the 2022 Winter Olympics, Vasiljevs placed sixteenth in the short program of the men's event. Twelfth in the free skate, despite a fall on his quad attempt, Vasiljevs rose to thirteenth place overall. He was thirteenth as well at the 2022 World Championships. 2022–23 season Vasiljevs worked extensively with choreographer Salome Brunner
