Happy Birthday, James Cracknell! You're rowing through another year with the same unstoppable energy that earned you double Olympic gold medals. Clearly, age is just a number—though counting your medals might take longer than blowing out candles!

From conquering oceans to inspiring countless athletes, you've shown us all how determination and grit can paddle past any obstacle. May this birthday bring as much joy as crossing the finish line first—and may your celebrations be smoother than calm waters on race day.

Cheers to more adventures ahead, James! Keep making waves both in sport and life—we're cheering from shore!
