With Justine and Chloe winning moguls medals and oldest sister Maxime also competing, photos of them celebrating together lit up social media.

The three sisters were together again Monday at the Pyeongchang Winter Games, but the experience was bittersweet this time.

At a news conference following Justine's silver medal win Sunday, Chloe was still showing the emotions of a disappointing 17th-place finish while Maxime was on the outside looking in after she didn't make the team.

But the tight-knit family is taking it all in stride, said Chloe. "Maxime wasn't here as an athlete, but each Games have their history," said 26-eary-old Chloe. "It was written differently than Sochi and that's OK.

Each Games are marvellous.

We'll profit from the rest of the Games to have fun together and laugh, and we'll have great souvenirs to one day tell our kids or our parents at dinner because they want to know everything."
