Happy Birthday, Dan Jansen! You're the only guy who can skate circles around adversity—literally. After years of slipping and sliding through life's icy patches, you finally grabbed Olympic gold in 1994 with a victory sweeter than birthday cake frosting. Your perseverance taught us all that sometimes success just needs an extra lap or two.Today we celebrate not just your incredible speed on ice but also your inspiring resilience off it. May this year glide smoothly for you without any unexpected slips (unless they're hilarious enough to share). Keep skating strong and laughing louder—you've earned every joyful moment!
