Happy Birthday to Australia's shot put legend and Olympic bronze medallist, Gael Martin! You've skillfully proven that tossing heavy metal balls around can land you a medal—not just any medal—the unforgettable bronze at the 1984 Olympics. Let's face it, no one ever threw parties—or shots—as impressively as you.From making history in Los Angeles with your iconic throw to inspiring Aussie athletes for generations since then—you've consistently hit life's sweet spots without breaking much of a sweat (well okay—perhaps some). May this birthday celebration be enjoyable enough you're tempted not throwing cake across rooms again—but if inspiration hits—we totally understand!
