Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on August 19, 1965)

Happy Birthday, James Tomkins! You've spent so much time powering through water that we're pretty sure Poseidon checks your schedule first. With three Olympic gold medals across three separate Olympics and seven World Championships under your belt, it’s clear you've perfected the art of rowing faster than everyone else—quite literally leaving waves in their wake!

As you celebrate another trip around the sun (likely made smoother by all those years navigating tricky waters), we hope today finds you relaxed—and nowhere near an oar. Here's to a legend whose athletic brilliance proves some people truly know how to go with the flow!
