Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on March 01, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Allen Johnson! You hurdled your way into history at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, leaping over barriers faster than most of us can jump out of bed. Your gold medal run in the 110M hurdles remains legendary—proof that gravity is optional when you're Allen Johnson.

Even though you've retired from competitive racing, we bet you still hurdle life's obstacles with style and grace (and maybe fewer pulled muscles). May your birthday be filled with laughter and joy—and may all cakes placed before you have hurdles made only of frosting. Keep soaring high; age can't catch a champion!
