Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on August 07, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Mercedes Perez! May your day be filled with more joy than the number of weights you've effortlessly lifted over the years. Your incredible strength and determination have made Colombia proud, especially when you powered through to win medals at multiple Pan American Games and represented your country brilliantly in four Olympic Games.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater triumphs—both on and off the platform. Keep lifting spirits (and barbells) high; after all, age is just a number—and we know you're great at handling big numbers! Feliz cumpleaños to our favorite weightlifting champion!
