Athletes at the upcoming Winter Olympics could be seeing triple.
Henniyah, Helaina and Henri Rivers are 18-year-old triplets from Long Island, New York, who hope to represent their mother’s native country of Jamaica in alpine skiing in the upcoming Winter Games in Milan Cortina.
“We do everything together,” Henniyah Rivers told Craig Melvin in an interview with her siblings that aired Wednesday on “TODAY.”
“Even when it’s, like, annoying, we still love each other so much and we’re each other’s best friends,” Helaina Rivers said.
The trio has its sights set on becoming the first triplets to compete in the same Winter Olympics. The siblings say they would love the opportunity to compete together.
“It would mean a lot,” Henri Rivers said. “I use my sisters as motivation towards skiing, because without them I really wouldn’t be the skier who I am today.”
“I don’t want to do it by myself, so I would rather have them with me,” Henniyah Rivers said.
