Curling has come under scrutiny because of how seemingly simplistic the sport it.
The game consists of one player rolling the stone down the ice while their team-mate frantically brushes its path to try and land it in the target area.
However, it has often been placed in the same bracket as darts, and Finish curler Rantamaeki was furious with the insulting claim.
“People tend to think that we just throw our stones, a bit like darts,” Rantamaeki raged after competing in the mixed doubles event.
“The difference in darts is that you don’t move the ones you threw earlier.
“They’re not reading the game in the same way that we do.”
Rantamaeki went on to explain how curling requires a lot of different skills to get it right.
And one of those is strength, which he thinks curlers have in abundance.
“We tend to look very relaxed because our brains are already programmed to move in those ways and get into those positions,” he added.
“But for someone trying curling for the first time, it’s a totally new way of moving so their muscles will be at full power all the time, trying to keep them in that position.”
