Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on December 26, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Alain! You're the only Scotsman who can zigzag down a mountain faster than most of us can say "haggis." Your legendary slalom skills made history when you became Britain's first alpine skiing medalist—proving once and for all that kilts aren't the only thing Scots wear with pride.

May your birthday be smoother than freshly groomed slopes and filled with fewer twists and turns than your famous runs. Keep inspiring us all by carving through life's challenges as effortlessly as you carve through snow. Here's to another year of laughter, success, and avoiding ski poles in awkward places!
