Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on August 29, 1940)

Happy birthday to the legendary Wim Ruska, a man who didn't just win Olympic gold once—but twice—in Munich 1972! Clearly, winning one medal wasn't enough; you had to dominate both the 92 kg and open weight classes. Rumor has it your opponents still wake up in cold sweats remembering those epic throws.

Even today, your legacy remains unmatched—after all, how many judokas can say they conquered two categories at one Olympics? May this year bring as much joy and triumph as that unforgettable summer of '72. Here's hoping no candles dare resist being blown out by an Olympian breath like yours!
