Biography

Caill originally competed for France, winning the French championships in her age category in 2011. However, she switched to the Romanian team in June 2012 citing a lack of opportunity on the French team that was to compete in Sochi. She is allowed to compete for Romania because it is her mother's home country. [4] At the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, Caill planned to compete in the giant slalom. However, due to bad weather, the giant slalom race was postponed and clashed with the training runs of the Super G, which she preferred. [5]
