Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on June 10, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Hadi Saei! You're the only person we know who can blow out birthday candles with a perfectly executed spinning kick. From Athens 2004 to Beijing 2008, your Olympic gold medals proved that gravity is just another opponent you effortlessly defeated.

Years may pass, but legends like you never age—they simply level up their black belts in awesomeness. May this year bring as much joy and success as those unforgettable moments when you made Iran proud on the global stage. Keep kicking high and laughing loud; after all these years you're still our favorite Taekwondo champion!
