Happy Birthday, Marianne! May your day glide by as smoothly and swiftly as you did on the ice in Nagano '98—twice golden, twice legendary. And let's not forget Turin 2006; while others were slipping and sliding, you skated straight into Olympic history once again!Here's hoping your celebrations today are filled with laughter that's louder than a cheering Dutch crowd and cake sweeter than victory itself. After all these years of speed skating glory, you've certainly earned a birthday that’s timelessly fun—and thankfully doesn't require wearing aerodynamic suits or sharp blades on your feet.
Cheers to another lap around the sun!
