J. Ragnar Kamp[1] (born April 9, 1953) is a Swedish-American curler and World Champion. He won a gold medal at the 1977 World Curling Championships for Sweden.[2] After winning the Worlds, Kamp threatened to move to Canada, complaining of Sweden's 'high taxes' and 'negative outlook'.[3] After the 1980 World Championships, Kamp did move to Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia,[4] and won two provincial championships, in 1984 and in 1989. He then moved to Ellsworth, Maine where he played in five U.S. national championships (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004).
