Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on September 26, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Gary Hall Jr.! You're the only guy we know who can rock a boxing robe poolside and still swim faster than everyone else. With ten Olympic medals—including five golds—you've splashed your way into history with style, speed, and swagger.

From Sydney to Athens, you've given us unforgettable moments—like that epic relay comeback in 2000 or flexing those muscles after victory like swimming's ultimate showman. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as beating rivals by fractions of seconds did back then!

Keep making waves (even if they're just cannonballs at backyard parties). Cheers!
