Kaldvee/Lill Mixed Doubles Split
Marie Kaldvee and Harri Lill have spent the better part of a decade turning Estonia into a legitimate mixed doubles power, and the past three seasons delivered the payoff. The Tallinn pair claimed Estonia's first world curling medal with silver at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Championship, falling to hosts Sweden in the final, then backed it up in 2025 with a 6-3 round robin, a quarterfinal win over Canada's Peterman/Gallant, and a semifinal loss to eventual champions Constantini/Mosaner for a fourth-place finish - results that combined to send them to Milano Cortina 2026, where Estonia became the smallest nation ever to qualify for Olympic curling.
