Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on November 17, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Laura! Remember when you dove headfirst into history at the 2000 Olympics? You soared, spun, twisted—and somehow landed like gravity owed you favors. Your gold medal dives were so legendary that even pool water still whispers your name in awe.

Since retiring after Beijing 2008, you've continued to inspire us by championing determination and grace beyond the diving board. May today bring joy deeper than any dive you've conquered—although admittedly that's quite deep!

Here's hoping this year makes a perfect splash; just keep away from birthday cake near pools—we know how tempting diving back in can be!
