Career[edit]
Sport[edit]
In 2016, at 11 years old Norris became the youngest surfer ever to compete in the open round of the Sydney International Women’s Pro.[4][5] Her 4 November 2016 interview with Karl Stefanovic captured quite a bit of attention on Australia's Channel Nine's The Today Show; it reportedly attracted over 2 million views[6] prompting an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show[7][8] which was viewed 40 million times.[9]
Norris is an accomplished skateboarder and although she has been diagnosed with Chiari malformation,[10][11][12] it did not impede her selection in the Australian skateboarding squad for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[13][14][15] She is the third female in history and first Australian female to land a "540".[16]
In 2018 she won a silver medal in skateboarding at the X Games (becoming the first woman to land a McTwist on a skateboard at an X Games);[17][18] won the Bondi Bowl-A-Rama;[19] and finished in second place in the Vans Park Series Oceania Championships.[20] In 2019 the ABC published the biographical podcast Sabre Norris — the girl who shreds waves and skate parks.[21]
In 2021 she appeared in the documentary film Tall Poppy: A Skater's Story, about 21-year-old Australian skateboarder Poppy Starr Olsen.[22]
