Let's make this birthday one to remember.

30 years old (Born on December 20, 1994)

Happy Birthday, Jacko Gill! You're the only guy we know who can throw a shot put farther than most of us can run. Ever since your golden victories at the World Junior Championships in 2010 and 2012, you've been launching heavy metal balls into orbit—NASA might soon call you for advice!

From clinching silver at the Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore to continually impressing us with your strength and determination, you've proven that gravity is just a suggestion. Keep making New Zealand proud—and remember, calories don't count on birthdays (but maybe avoid throwing cake; it's messy). Cheers!
