Happy Birthday to the legendary Haile Gebrselassie! You've outrun competitors, broken records, and made 10,000 meters look like a casual jog in the park. Winning Olympic gold medals back-to-back in Atlanta '96 and Sydney 2000 was impressive enough—but doing it with that trademark smile? Now that's just showing off!Even today your legacy continues inspiring runners worldwide—though rumor has it you're still faster than most of us mere mortals on our best day. May you celebrate this birthday as effortlessly as you've conquered championships: swiftly passing milestones while leaving everyone else breathless behind you. Keep running strong, champ!
