77 years old (Born on July 30, 1947)
Happy Birthday, Franklin Hobbs! You've rowed your way through another year with the same strength and grace that earned you Olympic silver in Munich back in '72. Clearly, age hasn't slowed down those legendary strokes—though rumor has it you're now rowing mostly toward cake rather than medals!May this birthday bring laughter as timeless as your achievements on water. Your legacy continues to inspire generations of athletes who dream big (and paddle hard). Here's hoping today is filled with joy—and perhaps a friendly reminder: even Olympians deserve extra frosting once they've crossed life's finish lines!
