Hannah Kearney would have made Olympic history — if not for two medaling sisters. Instead, Saturday's women's freestyle moguls skiing competition at the Winter Olympics was twice as nice for the Dufour-Lapointe family of Montreal.
Sisters Justine and Chloe won the gold and silver medals, respectively, for Canada. Kearney, an American hoping to become the first freestyle skier in Olympic history to win gold at back-to-back Winter Olympics, finished third for the bronze. She'll officially retire after this year's games.

Gold medalist Justin Dufour-Lapointe is 19 years old, while her silver medalist sister, Chloe, is 22. A third Dufour-Lapointe sister, 24-year-old Maxime, was also in the competition, but did not medal.
USA Today's Lindsay Jones apparently caught the medalists' parents, Johane Dufour and Yves Lapointe, on camera just after their daughters' magical moment:
