Happy Birthday, Matthew Wells! Another year rowing swiftly by—much like you did when clinching that iconic bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Your impressive performances have always left your competitors rowing upstream (literally!), and fans cheering downstream!We continue to marvel at your fantastic achievements, especially snagging silver in the double sculls at the 2010 World Championships—proof you're always steering ahead of the pack. Here's hoping this birthday is celebrated off-water with cake instead of medals; less shiny perhaps, but definitely tastier. Keep staying oarsome—the rower who showed us all how it's done with excellence and humor!
