In a weird bit of coincidence I was talking about Silje Norendal yesterday.  For some reason she just came up in conversation with @she-goes-to-eleven  who I was certain wouldn’t have heard of her and had not but her reaction was like mine initially which was, “Wow, that girl is beautiful”.  It was a fun little trip down memory lane but is not why Silje Norendal is here today.  No, she is here because I remembered in the back of my mind the X Games were starting soon so I said, “Oh, I should see when they start”.  Well, they started yesterday.  So I said, “Well, let’s see what’s on”.  So I turn it on and get to see the very first competitor starting her run for the Women’s Slopestyle finals.  Which means Silje Norendal was minutes away from my screen.  Now, when I started this post, I didn’t know who was going to win because it was just starting.  It just is that hard to find pictures of athletes, honestly.  It isn’t like there is nothing of her but she doesn’t exactly show up on the red carpet.  Spoilers, she didn’t make it to the podium.  I had high hopes with her final run but it just didn’t happen. I am still blown away though, she won gold the three previous years and the truth is being among the best in the world at something you do is mind blowing.  Just mind blowing.  The things she can do on a snowboard take my breath away.  Then I see her face and that has the same effect.  It’s honestly mind blowing to me the combination of talent and beauty.  So she is here.  Because she is amazing.  Today I want to fuck Silje Norendal.
