Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on August 30, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Felix Sanchez! You're the only guy who can hurdle life's obstacles faster than most of us run straight lines. From your golden Olympic moments in Athens 2004 and London 2012 to dominating World Championships in '01 and '03, you've proven that age is just a number—especially when you're leaping over hurdles like they're tiny speed bumps.

Seriously though, how many people can say they've conquered both Olympics nearly a decade apart? Your victories at the Pan American Games also remind us all: if life throws you barriers (or hurdles), channel your inner Felix Sanchez. Keep soaring high!
