[3] In February 2016, L. Velvere broke the long-standing Latvian record in the 800m indoor race, previously held by Marika Arent since 1985, with a time of 2:03.08.

She went on to beat this record again in February 2018, winning the IAAF World Tour indoor race series in Glasgow, Scotland, with a time of 2:02.01.

In July 2018, she set a new personal record of 2:01.21 at a competition in Kortrijk, Belgium, which was the third fastest run in the history of Latvian athletics.

On February 12, 2019, L. Velvere set a new Latvian record in the 800m indoor race with a time of 2:01.10 after winning a competition in France.

However, L. Velvere's hopes of competing at the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo were dashed due to an injury, and she was unable to finish the distance in her 800m discipline preliminaries.
