Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 30, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Nikolaj Pesalov! May your day be filled with laughter and joy—just like the moment you effortlessly lifted medals at Barcelona '92 and Atlanta '96. Your silver medal in 1992 was heavier than most birthday cakes we've seen, yet you handled it gracefully!

And let's not forget that bronze from Atlanta; rumor has it you're still using those Olympic weights as paperweights around the house. Keep flexing those muscles of greatness (and humor), because legends never age—they just lift lighter candles each year.

Wishing Bulgaria's favorite weightlifting hero another fantastic trip around life's podium!
