85 years old (Born on January 20, 1940)
Happy Birthday, Carol Heiss! You're the kind of legend who spun gracefully into history in 1960 with your dazzling Olympic gold medal performance. Even decades later, folks are still rewatching "Olympic Figure Skating: Greatest Performances in History: Vol. 2," amazed at how effortlessly you combined charm and athleticism.Celebrating another lap around the rink today, remember that age for an Olympian is just like landing a perfect spin—it's all about making it look easy (and you're totally acing it). Wishing you laughter-filled celebrations and enough cake to rival those podium heights from years ago. Keep skating through life gracefully!
