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
