It was a remarkable night for “3SDL”as they like to call themselves.
Les trois soeurs Dufour-Lapointe from Montreal; Justine age 19; Chloé, 22; and Maxime who turned 25 on Sunday, just hours after her sisters won their medals around midnight on Saturday.
Just consider the achievements: two sisters taking gold and silver
with a third making it to the second-last round of 12 skiers; the youngest champion ever in the event; Canada’s first gold and silver medals of the Sochi Olympics. Justine and Chloe join French skiers Marieele and Christine Goitschel and Austrian lugers Doris and Angelika Neuner on the short list of sisters to win Olympic gold and silver in the same event.
And, both sisters defeating the defending Olympic champion, Hannah Kearney of the United States who was considered the runaway favorite to win the race. Kearney finished third, crying as she left the stadium and feeling defeated by the course. “Thanks for your positivity,” she said with a strained smile after someone congratulated her on taking the bronze.
But it shouldn’t have been a surprise. Ever since they watched their older sister take up moguls at the age of 11, Justine and Chloé begged their parents to let them try too. “We said, ‘Hey, why not us, we want to follow our older sister. She’s cool, she’s doing all those tricks why not us,” recalled Justine.
