Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on May 09, 1968)

Happy Birthday to Masahiko Harada, the ski jumper who taught us all that sometimes life takes you soaring high...and occasionally brings unexpected tumbles! Your unforgettable 1994 Olympics moment showed everyone that even champions have their "gravity check" day—but it's your tremendous comeback in Nagano '98 (though we secretly believe it felt like 1996 to you!) that left hearts inspired and jaws dropped.

Through triumphs and stumbles alike, you've epitomized resilience, courage—and a special knack for gravity negotiation. May this year grant you smoother landings than Lillehammer ever did, plenty of champagne-worthy moments twice as golden as Nagano. Happy jumping—hopefully safely atop birthday cake slices today!
