Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on October 13, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Javier Sotomayor! May your celebrations today reach heights even greater than your legendary 2.45-meter world record leap. We hope you clear every obstacle as effortlessly as you soared over the bar in Barcelona '92, bringing home Olympic gold and making Cuba proud.

Your incredible jumps have inspired generations to aim higher—literally! While gravity might slow most of us down with age, we suspect you're still secretly practicing high jumps over birthday cakes and party balloons. Here's wishing a timeless champion endless joy on this special day; may laughter lift you up just like you've lifted our spirits for decades!
