Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on May 17, 1984)

Happy birthday, Andreas Kofler! The man who soared beyond gravity itself at the 2006 and 2010 Olympics. With moves smoother than melted chocolate on skis, you've earned Olympic gold medals in team large hill competition twice—definitely proof that you thrive best when hanging out with friends mid-air.

Let's not forget your brilliant silver medal leap in Turin's individual event back in '06; honestly, it's as if gravity politely stepped aside just for you. Hopefully this year you'll celebrate like you're landing another picture-perfect jump: smoothly, gracefully—and sticking the party dismount without spilling cake down your ski suit. Happy flying—I mean celebrating!
