Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on July 30, 1973)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Marlenis Costa! You've spiked your way through life, serving up gold medals like they're birthday cakes—three Olympic victories in 1992, 1996, and 2000. Clearly age is just a number when you've got skills that timelessly dominate volleyball courts worldwide.

From Barcelona's glory days to Sydney’s golden sands—you've consistently shown us how champions celebrate birthdays: by collecting shiny hardware every four years. May this year bring you as much joy (and fewer bruises) than those epic dives on court!

Here's hoping today scores high with laughter and fun; after all these wins, you're still unbeatable!
