Happy Birthday, Claudia Poll! You're still swimming circles around the rest of us—even if nowadays it's mostly metaphorical. Who could forget your legendary splash at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta? You didn't just win Costa Rica's first-ever Olympic gold medal; you practically turned water into national pride!From dominating both the 200-meter and 800-meter freestyle events to inspiring generations with your incredible determination, you've proven that greatness comes from dedication (and maybe a little chlorine). May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and absolutely no early morning swim practices. Keep making waves wherever life takes you next!
