Career
Born in Corrençon-en-Vercors, Isère, she became a member of the Villard-de-Lans ski club in Grenoble. At her Olympic debut in 1998 at Nagano, Japan, she finished 14th in both the super-G and downhill.
In January 2002, Montillet was chosen by the Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français to be the flag bearer at Salt Lake City. Her victory in the downhill days later was her first major triumph and the first alpine gold medal by a Frenchwoman since Marielle Goitschel's slalom gold in Grenoble in 1968. She dedicated the win to her late teammate Régine Cavagnoud, the reigning world champion in super-G, who died after a training accident less than four months earlier.
Montillet's achievements were more remarkable because she has suffered multiple serious injuries early in her career, such as torn knee ligaments.
While training for the downhill at the 2006 Winter Olympics, Montillet-Carles crashed on 13 February and was evacuated by helicopter to a nearby hospital. She suffered rib, back, and facial injuries, but still opted to defend her title two days later, but finished 28th. Several racers had complained that the downhill course was too easy, and Olympic organizers had made several changes to it. She finished fifth in the super-G five days later, then retired from competition at the end of the World Cup season.

Кароль Монтийе-Карль (фр. Carole Montillet-Carles, 7 апреля 1973, Изер) — французская горнолыжница, выступавшая за сборную Франции с 1991 по 2006 год. Принимала участие в трёх зимних Олимпийских играх, в 1998 году в Нагано выступила сравнительно неудачно, заняв лишь 14-е место в скоростном спуске и супергиганте. Наиболее успешной для спортсменки оказалась Олимпиада в Солт-Лейк-Сити 2002 года, где она выиграла золотую медаль программы скоростного спуска, почти на пол секунды опередив Изольду Костнер. Победу Монтийе посвятила своей подруге по сборной Франции, трагически погибшей Режин Кавану.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
