==Career==
===Juniors=== Turmann played for the Estonian team at the 2012 Youth Winter Olympics, playing third on the team, which finished in last place. In the mixed doubles event, she was paired with Italy's Alessandro Zoppi. They would be eliminated after losing their only game.
After playing in five European Junior Curling Challenges, Turmann finally qualified for the World Junior Curling Championships in 2015. Turmann would skip the Estonian team there, with teammates Kerli Zirk, Kerli Laidsalu and Johanna Ehatamm. The team finished the event with a 2–7 record in the round robin, missing the playoffs. In her last year of junior eligibility, Turmann led Estonia to a fourth-place finish at the 2016 World Junior B Curling Championships.
===Women's=== At 15 years old, Turmann made her European Curling Championships debut, playing lead for the Estonian team skipped by Küllike Ustav at the 2010 European Curling Championships. The team finished seventeenth overall. Turmann again played for Estonia at the 2014 European Curling Championships, on a team skipped by Maile Mölder. Despite being the team's official alternate, Turmann played in all twelve matches. The team played in the A division of the event and finished in eighth place overall.
In 2017, she won the Estonian women's curling championship.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?eventid=4673&view=Ranking#1 |title=Estonian National Curling Championship: Ranking |website=CurlingZone.com}}</ref> At the 2017 European Curling Championships, she skipped the Estonian team for the first time. The team won third place in the B Division. The team won the Estonian Women's National Championship once again in 2018. At the 2018 European Curling Championships, she led her team to a second-place finish in the B Division. This qualified Estonia for the 2019 World Qualification Event for a chance to make it to the 2019 World Women's Curling Championship. At the Qualification event, the team could not make the playoffs, finishing with a 3–4 record. In 2019, the team won their first World Curling Tour event at the Tallinn Ladies International Challenger.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Team&eventid=5877&teamid=140053&profileid= |title=Champion: Turmann Wins 2019 Tallinn Ladies International Chellenger |website=CurlingZone.com |access-date=1 May 2021}}</ref> A few weeks later, Turmann once again skipped the Estonian team at the 2019 European Curling Championships where her team got to compete in the A Division. They finished with a 2–7 record, which qualified them once again for the 2020 World Qualification Event. There, they just missed the playoffs with a 4–3 record.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://results.worldcurling.org/Championship/Details/662 |title=World Qualification Event 2020 |website=World Curling Federation |access-date=1 May 2021}}</ref> The team won two more national championships in 2020<ref>https://www.sport24.ee/aastaraamat/failid/2020/0_234765_1.pdf, https://www.sport24.ee/aastaraamat/failid/2020/0_234765_2.pdf{{in lang|et}}</ref> and 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Uz5zBwBC1tJBAeJcoMOKw9OdLk_bYQEfGtzgXcpvFuE/edit?fbclid=IwAR0Y--MlI3IlTnzs0gK99sN_RgdyCVa3XFLuYM1EKZk-H5-9M1xXYnlOPwc#gid=1427979548 |title=Eesti Meistrivõistlused Kurlingus 2020/2021 a |website=Google Docs |access-date=31 January 2021}}</ref>
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the field at the 2021 World Women's Curling Championship was expanded to 14 teams, after the 2020 World Women's Curling Championship was cancelled. The 2021 event was originally planned to be hosted by Switzerland, giving that nation an automatic entry. This gave Europe an extra qualification spot for the 2021 Worlds, which was based on the results of the 2019 European Championship, the last Euros held before the pandemic. As they had finished 8th, this qualified Estonia and the Turmann rink for the 2021 Worlds,<ref name="MG">{{Cite web |url=https://www.curling.ca/files/2021/04/2021-LGT-World-Womens-Curling-Championship-media-guide1.pdf |title=2021 World Women's Curling Championship Media Guide |website=Curling Canada |access-date=30 April 2021 |archive-date=1 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210501045241/https://www.curling.ca/files/2021/04/2021-LGT-World-Womens-Curling-Championship-media-guide1.pdf |url-status=dead}}</ref> the first time Estonia would play at the World Championships.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://sport.delfi.ee/artikkel/93283901/eesti-kurlingunaiskond-alustab-homme-ajaloolist-mm-i-suurvoistluse-eel-tuvastati-uhes-koondises-koroona |title=Eesti kurlingunaiskond alustab homme ajaloolist MM-i, suurvõistluse eel tuvastati ühes koondises koroona |website=Delfi Sport |language=et |access-date=1 May 2021}}</ref> At the World Championships, Turmann led Estonia to a 1–12 record, in last place.

After this showing, Kaldvee and Lill would each step back from women's and men's play, respectively, for the 2024–25 curling season, to solely focus on mixed doubles curling and qualifying for the Olympics. The following season, Kaldvee and Lill would have incredible success on the tour circuit, winning the Mixed Doubles Super Series: Calgary,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Main&eventid=8500 |title=Mixed Doubles Super Series - Calgary |website=CurlingZone |access-date=3 June 2024}}</ref> Madtown Doubledown,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Main&eventid=8530 |title=MadTown DoubleDown Presented by Motus Financial |website=CurlingZone |access-date=3 June 2024}}</ref> Mixed Doubles Super Series: Fredericton,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Main&eventid=8505 |title=Mixed Doubles Super Series - Fredericton |website=CurlingZone |access-date=3 June 2024}}</ref> WCT Łódź Mixed Doubles Masters,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Main&eventid=8601 |title=WCT Łódź Mixed Doubles Masters 2025 |website=CurlingZone |access-date=3 June 2024}}</ref> and Mixed Doubles Players' Championship,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Main&eventid=8506 |title=Mixed Doubles Players' Championship |website=CurlingZone |access-date=3 June 2024}}</ref> and would also finish runner-up at the Gothenburg Mixed Doubles Cup.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/event.php?view=Main&eventid=8713 |title=Gothenburg Mixed Doubles Cup |website=CurlingZone |access-date=27 August 2024}}</ref> These results would have Kaldvee and Lill ranked #1 in the world going into the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.curlingzone.com/rankings.php?task=week&oomid=85&eventyear=2025#1 |title=2024–25 World Curling Federation Rankings |website=CurlingZone |access-date=26 April 2025}}</ref> At the 2025 Worlds, Kaldvee and Lill would again have a successful tournament, going 6–3 in the round robin, and would beat Canada's Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant in the quarterfinals before losing to eventual winners and 2022 Olympic Gold Medalists Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner from Italy in the semifinal, finishing in 4th place. These successful results over the 2024 and 2025 World Championships, however, qualified Kaldvee and Lill for the 2026 Winter Olympics, marking Estonia's debut in curling at the Olympic Games.
