Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on August 15, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Kerri Walsh Jennings! You're the queen of spikes and digs who makes beach volleyball look effortless—even though we all know that sand finds places it really shouldn't. Thanks for continuously soaring higher than anyone thought possible while somehow managing to keep sunglasses firmly attached mid-air.

Your Olympic gold-medal hat-trick has clearly spoiled us: Now everyone expects triple greatness in everything you do—cake servings included! May your birthday celebration be as legendary as your iconic victories on the sand court, proving once again you're simply unstoppable. Here's hoping this year brings countless perfect serves (and minimal sandy sandwiches)!
