Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on May 28, 1971)

Happy birthday to Ekaterina Gordeeva, whose grace on ice is only matched by her ability to skate right into our hearts! You've shown us elegance, artistry, and perfection alongside Sergei—your dazzling partnership earning two Olympic gold medals and countless unforgettable moments. And even now, your presence on ice proves timeless; you continue inspiring skaters worldwide.

From that magical moment in Calgary 1988 when the world first fell in love with Gordeeva & Grinkov, to embracing victory once again at Lillehammer 1994—you've glided gracefully into history books. May your day be filled with enormous smiles, hearty laughter…and hopefully fewer toe picks than candles!
