Happy Birthday, Marieke! It seems like only yesterday you were rowing your heart out in Sydney, determined to capture silver with the women's coxed eight. Time flies faster than a boat gliding effortlessly through water—though "effortlessly" probably isn't how you'd describe it during that Olympic final!These days you're retired from competition—but let's face it: anyone who's survived grueling training sessions and still smiled afterward has already mastered life's hardest challenge. May this birthday be filled with laughter (less sweating preferred), endless cake without guilt, and celebrations worthy of an Olympian who turned silver into lifelong golden memories!
