Kelley and Courtney Hurley began their quest for gold Saturday, but were both eliminated from the individual épée competition in the Round of 32.
The sisters are in their second Olympic Games together and are among seven sets of siblings competing in Rio this year.
The sisters both have Olympic medals under their belts, taking home the bronze medal in the Women’s Team Epee at the London Games in 2012
They were aiming for their first individual medals Saturday when they both suffered heartbreaking losses. Courtney faced defending gold medalist Yana Shemyakina of the Ukraine, losing in one minute sudden death overtime, 14-13.
Kelley competed against Brazil's Nathalie Moellhausen, losing 12-15 in their bout.
Finals for the individual event begin at 3:15 p.m. CT. and the Hurley sisters will compete again in the team épée competition on August 11.
