Happy birthday, Ian Thorpe! Hope you’re diving headfirst into plenty of cake today—without worrying about breaking any Olympic records. From your iconic Sydney 2000 moments to collecting gold medals as effortlessly as most collect stamps, you've shown us over and over that Australians don't swim—they glide!May your celebrations today be smoother than your freestyle stroke and filled with laughter louder than the cheers from Athens in 2004. Whether you're swimming laps or simply lounging poolside now, no one will ever forget Thorpie’s legendary achievements. Have a splash-tacular day—you've already made waves for an entire nation!
