Calmat attended the Cours Hattemer, a private school.[2] He started skating at the age of nine.[citation needed] He had one of the longest figure skating careers in postwar skating, competing in every European, World, and Olympic competition for twelve years.[3] He won the silver medal at the French Figure Skating Championships in 1954 and would go on to win twelve medals at nationals before retiring: seven silver and five gold. He placed ninth at the 1956 Winter Olympics[3] and won the bronze medal at the 1958 European Championships. At the 1960 Winter Olympics, he moved up to sixth place[3] and won the bronze medal at the 1960 World Championships.

The following year, Calmat won the silver medal at the 1961 European Championships. He became European champion for three consecutive years from 1962 to 1964.[3] During that period, Calmat was awarded one bronze and two silver medals at Worlds.

At the 1964 Winter Olympics, Calmat won the silver medal and went on to win his second consecutive silver medal at Worlds. He stayed in one more season and retired as the 1965 World champion.[3]

Calmat carried the torch and lit the Olympic flame at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. He also served as a world judge.[4]
