Dufour-Lapointe sisters plan to celebrate as a family

"SNIP.................................


For most Olympians, sport is a family affair.

It usually begins with mom and dad creating the initial spark of interest in the child, and soon manifests into a serious commitment to organized sport.

The three Dufour-Lapointe sisters were introduced to skiing because their parents, avid sailors, needed a winter sport. Pushing their daughters in the stroller all winter long was just too boring.

.....

It’s about standing at the top of the mountain, with the clarity and energy that comes from knowing the competition is only about you and the mountain. No wonder all three sisters have succeeded in becoming Olympic teammates.

1. It sure would be cool to see all 3 on the podium

I know one of them wasn't expected to make it this far, but all 3 have made the finals. Very cool!
