Skiing sisters Chloe and Justine Dufour-Lapionte were the first Canadian siblings ever to medal in the same event at the Olympics. Justine, 19, and Chloe, 22, won over the hearts of many as they held hands on the podium. The sisters said that they owe the medals to their parents because they have sacrificed so much for them. A press conference was help on Sunday, the sisters both started crying when they were talking about their parents.

How much would you go through to send somebody to the Olympics? What do you think that moment was like for the sisters as they stood on the Podium together?

Good summary but you only replied once. Replying more frequently would get more people to comment on your story as it gets bumped to the top of the forum.
If they are good enough to get a medal then yes send them to the Olympics, As they stood up on the podium they felt as if they were on top of the world.
Personally I could care less about the olympics so I probably would go through that much unless It was really my childs dream. But im sure the moment of winning was very good there parents are probably very proud.
I think it would take a lot of commitment to get to the Olympics, or have a family member going. It would take complete dedication and a lot of support. Standing on the podium must have been pure joy and happiness that their own individual dreams came true, and so did the other sibling's.
aw thats a great story but it would be tough cause you would be jealous but very happy for them. It would just be awesome receiving a medal i think at least
There was also another sister that did not place.. That sister would probably feel really bad.. But happy for her sisters.
I feel like the sister that got a lower medal was probably a little jealous, but I'm sure it was very emotional and awesome for the girls to be their together. I bet the parents sacrificed a lot for their girls.
I would try my hardest to make it to the Olympics. I bet it was a moment that they couldn't explain.

If I could help my brothers make it to the Olympics id do whatever it takes to help them. Im sure winning a medal with a sibling would be a dream come true.
