45 years old (Born on May 10, 1980)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Mary Whipple—the fearless coxswain who steered her crew straight into Olympic glory! With back-to-back gold medals in Beijing 2008 and London 2012, you've proven that good things come in small packages—especially when they're shouting motivational commands from a tiny seat at the stern.Mary, your voice alone could probably power an entire rowing team across oceans. Your ability to guide eight powerful rowers with precision (and humor) is unmatched. May this birthday be as smooth sailing as your races—and may you always have teammates willing to follow wherever you're steering them next!
