Lily, Liina and Leila Luik are sisters from Estonia and they’ve all clocked Olympic qualifying times in recent marathons. If they do advance to the Olympics it’s believed that they will be the first set of triplets to compete in the Olympic games. It’s not guaranteed that all three of them will compete though because they other Estonians could step up as well. But as of right now they’re the only Estonians to meet the Olympic women’s marathon qualifying time.

Like most twins, Florence Davies and Glenys Thomas are devoted to each other. But their devotion is exceptional – they have stayed inseparable for 103 years! These lovely sisters lived through both world wars and are now considered to be the oldest living twins in the world.

Florence and Glenys have been living a very quiet life in Caerphilly, South Wales. They have never left their village since November 22, 1911 – the day they were born. They’ve taken care of each other, bought identical clothes, and lived through their happiest times together.

These Two Sisters Just CRUSHED It. Wait For The 2:40 Mark… The Little One Is Unbelievable.

Sisters Lennon and Maisy started singing songs in their bedroom and uploaded them to YouTube. Now, they have become wildly popular due to those YouTube videos, so much so that they are on the ABC series Nashville and have been invited to sing at the Grand Ole Opry a few times.

In the video below they do an absolutely incredible job at covering Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros’ song called “That’s What’s Up”. I simply cannot get enough of these singing sisters, they were blessed with true talent!

That was absolutely beautiful, I was disappointed when the song finished as I wanted to listen to it forever.
