20 Reasons Why We Love Silje Norendal

She's going for gold in Women's Slopestyle at Sochi 2014

This is Silje Norendal, she’s pretty good at snowboarding

A couple of weeks ago she won the Slopestyle competition at the Winter X-Games in Aspen with this storming run

She nailed a flawless Backside 540 to take the gold

Here she is celebrating her triumph. It was her first win in Aspen and she triumphed over American favourite, Jamie Anderson

She’s proved her talent on both sides of the Atlantic. Last year she won gold in the same event at the X-Games in Tignes

This time taking top spot with a smooth Frontside Rodeo

Sandwiched between these two big wins she also nailed down a third at the 2013 Dew Tour.

It’s fair to say she’s an all around athlete

She’s currently number one in the world in women’s slopestyle

And we’ll drink to that

She grew up in the small Norwegian town of Kongsberg

She’s only 20 – in fact she only graduated from high school two years ago

She’ll be making her first appearance at the Winter Olympics, representing Norway

She’s willing to stand up for her beliefs in Sochi.

She’s been on the front cover of Cooler

She enjoys hanging out with her girlfriends and describes her self as a girly girl

She’s pretty!

You’d probably quite like to bump into her on a night out

And we can’t help but agree

But let’s not forget she’s a world class shredder
