This young snowboarder has earned her spot on the Norway’s Olympic snowboarding team with her skills on the slopes, but has gained much of her new attention for being one of the most strikingly beautiful women competing at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
One can only imagine John Lennon had someone like 23-year old Haug in mind when he wrote the song “Norweigian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)”, and in an ironic sense it could be true as this bird can truly fly.
Haug is certainly an athlete of the people, as she enjoys interacting with her fans via Twitter and Instagram. Unfortunately for those holding out hope for a chance to woo this ice princess, your efforts will be for naught; Haug is happily married.
