Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on September 16, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Kirsty Coventry! You're still making waves—literally and figuratively. From Athens 2004, where you splashed your way to three medals (including that glittering gold), to Beijing 2008 when you added four more shiny souvenirs to your collection—you've proven you're basically part mermaid.

Even though candles might now outnumber Olympic medals on your cake, remember: age is just a number—but seven Olympic medals are forever legendary. May this birthday bring laughter as bright as the gold you've earned and celebrations smoother than your backstroke turns. Keep swimming through life with style; you're truly an Olympian for all seasons!
