Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on January 06, 1939)

Today we fondly remember and celebrate the legendary Iain Murray Rose, whose swimming prowess made waves around the globe. With four Olympic gold medals in freestyle events, Murray didn't just swim—he practically glided through water like a dolphin with impeccable style. His remarkable victories at Melbourne 1956 and Rome 1960 remain timeless reminders of his extraordinary talent.

Beyond his incredible athletic achievements, Murray's charm and charisma left everyone smiling; he was truly Australia's golden boy both in and out of the pool. Though he's no longer with us today, let's raise a toast to an athlete who continues to inspire generations—Happy Birthday up there, champion!
