Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on September 11, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Matthew Gilmore! Another lap around life's velodrome completed with style—though we're pretty sure nothing beats your epic silver medal sprint in the men's madison at Sydney 2000. You pedaled into Olympic history faster than most of us can pedal to grab cake from the fridge!

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much excitement and joy as those thrilling races back home on familiar tracks. May every year ahead be filled with smooth rides, fewer punctures (both literal and metaphorical), and plenty more podium-worthy moments—even if they're just victories over candles or slices of cake!
