Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on March 29, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Bevan Docherty! You're proof that Kiwis don't just fly—they swim, bike and run their way onto Olympic podiums. From your epic silver medal finish in Athens 2004 to the gritty bronze you snagged at Beijing 2008, you've shown us all how determination (and maybe a little Kiwi stubbornness) can conquer any triathlon course.

As another year races by faster than an Olympian chasing gold, we hope you're still celebrating those legendary finishes with pride—and perhaps fewer ice baths these days. May this birthday be filled with laughter and cake—because let's face it: carbs are always welcome fuel for champions like you!
