Megan Rapinoe Has A Twin Named Rachael Rapinoe — And She's Just As Awesome
Double the trouble on the soccer field!
Just when you thought that award-winning soccer player Megan Rapinoe couldn't get any cooler, it turns out that she not only has a twin, her twin sister is just as much of a beast on the soccer field as she is. Who is Rachael Rapinoe?
1. She's 11 minutes older than her twin sister.
According to The List, Rachael Rapinoe was born 11 minutes before Megan. The Rapinoe sisters — who are outspoken liberals — grew up in a very conservative part of Northern California. While both sisters participated in various community service endeavors while growing up, they both were also very into soccer from an early age.
"[Megan Rapinoe] comes from a large Christian family and just so happened to grow up across the street from a church in Palo Cedro, Calif. She's the youngest of six, but only by about 11 minutes (her fraternal twin sister Rachael was born shortly before her). Their brother Brian introduced the twins to the sport of soccer when they were 4 years old and would regularly play with them on the field across from the church," reported the outlet.
