Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on October 02, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Didier Defago! You're the man who raced downhill faster than cake disappears at a birthday party. Your gold medal run in the men's downhill at the 2010 Winter Olympics was legendary—rumor has it gravity is still trying to catch up with you!

And let's not forget your epic Super-G victory at the 2014 World Cup. Clearly, you're aging like fine Swiss cheese: smooth, sharp and always improving with time.

Wishing you another year filled with speed (but no speeding tickets), laughter (mostly from watching others try skiing as fast as you), and plenty of celebratory chocolate fondue!
