Career

Early career

Oktar began learning to skate in 2008 at a mall.[1][2] After winning his first junior national title, he was selected to compete at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. His short program placement, 31st, was not enough to qualify to the free skate.

2016–2017 season

Oktar debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in August 2016 in France. He placed 18th at the French event and later 14th in Estonia. In February 2017, he finished fourth at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Erzurum, Turkey. A month later, he placed 26th in the short program at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan.

2017–2018 season

In September, Oktar competed at two 2017 JGP events, finishing fourth in Austria and sixth in Croatia. His senior international debut came in November at the Denkova-Staviski Cup in Bulgaria. He won the silver medal behind Kevin Aymoz from France. He finished 2017-18 season at 51st in the world ranking.
