Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on January 27, 1977)

Happy Birthday, James Nolan! You're still moving faster than the rest of us—even if nowadays you're chasing athletes around a track instead of medals. We fondly remember your blazing speed at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and that brilliant silver medal performance in the European Indoor Championships. Clearly, running circles endlessly paid off!

Now as an inspiring coach shaping Ireland's next generation on track, you've swapped personal bests for helping others achieve theirs—proving once again nobody can slow you down. Here's another lap completed gracefully; may laughter always be your warm-up and cake forever fuel each victory—on or off-track!
