Happy Birthday, Kieren Perkins! You're the only person we know who can celebrate by swimming 1500 meters faster than most of us could unwrap a birthday gift. Your legendary gold medal swims at Barcelona in '92 and Atlanta in '96 still leave us breathless—though probably not as breathless as your competitors were trying to keep up!Even though you swapped Olympic pools for boardrooms these days, we're sure you're still secretly timing yourself whenever someone says "ready-set-go." May this year bring you joy, laughter, and fewer laps—but just enough cake slices to match all those medals you've earned!
