Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on November 17, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Greg Rutherford! May your celebrations leap higher than your legendary jump at the 2012 London Olympics. We still marvel at how you soared through the air to claim gold—proving once and for all that gravity is optional when you're British.

Whether sprinting down tracks or leaping into sand pits, you've always made it look effortless (and stylish). Here's hoping this year brings even more success—and fewer encounters with sand in awkward places. Keep jumping high, running fast, and inspiring us all; after all these years, you're still our favorite reason to cheer loudly from sofas everywhere!
