Happy birthday, Lindsay Shoop—Olympic gold medalist rower extraordinaire! Rumor has it you still celebrate birthdays by rowing circles around competitors before breakfast. When your gold-winning crew crossed the little pond in Beijing back in 2008, others paddled; you effortlessly flew straight into Olympic history.Every year since, you've shown us all how determination and teamwork truly float our boat. Here's hoping your cake comes decorated with tiny oars—and absolutely no splash-induced candles that refuse to blow out. Cheers to another year of laughter, strength, and reminding everyone at parties (again) just who’s bringing home a golden performance!
