Curling career

Gill started curling at age 11.[1] Her mother Lynette is also a curler,[2] as well as Tahli's sisters Kirby and Jayna. The four Gills sometimes play together, such as when they, along with Laurie Weeden, won the 2018 Australian Women's Championship.[3] They then represented Australia at the 2018 Pacific-Asia Championship, where they finished in sixth place out of the seven teams.[4]

At the 2019 World Mixed Doubles Championship, Gill and her teammate Dean Hewitt made it to the semifinals before being eliminated by Sweden's Anna Hasselborg and Oskar Eriksson. In the bronze medal match they again lost, to John Shuster and Cory Christensen from the United States.[5] Their fourth-place finish is the best finish ever for an Australian team at any world curling championship.[2]

Gill focused on mixed doubles for the 2019–20 season, placing second at the New Zealand Winter Games and winning the WCT Pacific Ocean Cup, a World Curling Tour (WCT) event.[6] Gill and Hewitt were qualified for the 2020 World Mixed Doubles Championship, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1]
