Curling career

Ramsfjell was the third on the Norwegian junior men's team at the 2016 and 2017 World Junior Curling Championships on teams skipped by his cousin[3] Magnus. At the 2016 World Juniors, the team finished 5th, with a 5–4 round robin record, missing the playoffs.[4] At the 2017 World Juniors, the team improved to a 6-3 round robin record, which put them in a tiebreaker game against Canada's Tyler Tardi rink for the final playoff spot. They beat Canada in the tiebreaker game, but lost to Scotland's Cameron Bryce in the 3 vs. 4 game. This put them in the bronze medal game, where they faced Scotland again. This time, they would beat the Scots to claim the bronze medal.[5] Also in 2017, the team won a bronze medal at the Norwegian Men's Curling Championship.[6]

In 2019, Ramsfjell played second on Team Norway at the 2019 Winter Universiade, on a team skipped by Magnus Ramsfjell. The team went on to win the gold medal.[7]

The Magnus Ramsfjell rink, with Bendik throwing lead stones won the 2020 Norwegian men's championship.[8] The team won the Norwegian championship again in 2022 with Magnus throwing second stones.[9] The team was chosen to represent Norway at the 2022 World Men's Curling Championship,[1] where they finished in 10th with a 5–7 record.[10] That season, the team also won the 2021 Prague Classic World Curling Tour event.[11]
