87 years old (Born on November 20, 1937)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Eero Mäntyranta! You've skied your way into history faster than most of us can even lace up our boots. With three Olympic gold medals—dominating the 4 x 10 km relay in Squaw Valley and conquering both the icy slopes of Innsbruck's 15 km and grueling trails at its challenging 30 km—you've left competitors breathless (literally).We hope today you celebrate with fewer hills, more cake, and perhaps a medal-worthy nap or two. May your birthday glide smoothly along like one of your flawless cross-country runs—but please don't lap us too many times!
