Life

Castellet was born in Sabadell in 1989. As a teenager she competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and finished tenth in halfpipe at the 2007 World Snowboard Championships. During the 2007-08 Snowboarding World Cup circuit she placed on the podium three times, and overall she placed third in the halfpipe section of the 2007–08 World Cup.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics she scored a 44.3 on her first qualifying run, third highest. However, she suffered a concussion while practicing in the lead-up to the final and was subsequently forced to withdraw.

At the World Cup, she has seven victories, and ten additional podiums in halfpipe, and another podium in big air.

She won Spain's first silver Olympic medal at a Winter Olympics for 30 years in the women's halfpipe at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Chloe Kim took the gold medal and Sena Tomita was third. This was Castellet's fifth Olympics.[1]
