Career

Lill has focused for much of his career, and has found most of his international success in mixed doubles curling. Lill and partner Marie Kaldvee represented Estonia at the 2016 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. The team finished in 2nd place in their group with a 5–1 record, and ended up losing to China in the quarterfinals and settled for a 6th-place finish. In 2018 Lill and Kaldvee won the Estonian nationals and represented Estonia at the 2018 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. They went undefeated in group play, but lost in the round of 16 to Turkey. Turmann and Lill returned to represent Estonia at the 2019 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. They again won their group, with a 6–1 record, and made it as far as the quarterfinals where they lost to the United States.

Kaldvee and Lill would have a successful showing at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship, where they would finish in second place, losing the final to Sweden's Isabella Wranå and Rasmus Wranå 8–4. The following season, Kaldvee and Lill would have incredible success on the tour circuit, winning the Mixed Doubles Super Series: Calgary, Madtown Doubledown, Mixed Doubles Super Series: Fredericton, WCT Łódź Mixed Doubles Masters, and Mixed Doubles Players' Championship, and would also finish runner-up at the Gothenburg Mixed Doubles Cup. These results would have Kaldvee and Lill ranked #1 in the world going into the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship. 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.
