Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on December 31, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Kikkan Randall! You're the only person we know who can glide gracefully on skis and still manage to sprint faster than most of us run downhill. From your unforgettable silver medal at the 2009 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships to that historic Olympic gold in Pyeongchang—your achievements have left tracks deeper than our attempts at skiing ever could.

May this birthday be filled with laughter, cake (extra carbs for training!), and fewer wipeouts than we've had trying to imitate your moves. Keep inspiring us all by proving that life is always better when you're sliding forward fast!
