Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on November 07, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Gervasio Deferr! May your celebrations vault higher than you did at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics—though let's be honest, that's a pretty tough feat to beat. Your gold-medal-winning flips still have us dizzy with admiration!

Even though years pass by faster than one of your legendary vaults, you're forever landing perfectly in our hearts. Here's hoping this year brings as much joy and excitement as those unforgettable Olympic moments—and fewer landings judged by stern-faced officials.

Cheers to another fantastic rotation around life's pommel horse; may it score nothing less than perfect tens all around!
