on Sunday February 29, 2004 she broke her back in a snowboarding accident
outside Oslo. She was however expected to make a full recovery, and her
boss at the radio station P4 commented: "If I know Silje, the back-injury
isn't the worst part about staying in the hospital, it's the lack of video-
games." Only 7 weeks later, on April 15, 2004, she returned to hosting
the popular TV show "Torsdagsklubben." She had to wear a corset and
do the entire show standing up. Whenn he saw her, co-host
Thomas Giertsen
commented, "It's basically a push-DOWN bra you're wearing. Get saggy
breasts in 6 weeks." Her other co-host,
Otto Jespersen said he had
expected a corset of the more-traditional kind, adding: "Instead, you
look like a half-naked hockey goalie.".
