Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on January 20, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Clayton Stanley! The man whose serves were so powerful, opponents considered wearing helmets. Your legendary spikes at the 2008 Beijing Olympics didn't just win gold—they probably registered on seismic scales worldwide. Rumor has it, volleyball nets still tremble when they hear your name.

From Athens in 2004 to Beijing in 2008, you've consistently shown us how to serve up greatness with style and humor. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy—and absolutely no referees calling faults on your cake-cutting technique. Keep spiking life's challenges like they're volleyballs floating gently over the net!
