Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on July 12, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Emil Hegle Svendsen! You're the only guy we know who can sprint 10km faster than most of us decide what to have for breakfast. Your Olympic gold medals in mass-start and mixed relay at Sochi 2014 proved you're not just a biathlon legend—you're also pretty good at multitasking under pressure.

From your silver medal dash back in Vancouver's 2010 Olympics to dominating snowy tracks worldwide, you've shown that age is merely a number (though yours might be getting higher). Keep skiing fast and shooting straight; may your birthday celebrations hit every target—even if it's cake-shaped!
