Let's make this birthday one to remember.

35 years old (Born on May 09, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Philippe Marquis! You're the freestyle skiing legend who flipped and twisted your way into our hearts at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Your gravity-defying moves made moguls look easy—though we suspect you secretly defy physics just for fun.

From thrilling Olympic runs to inspiring comebacks, you've shown us that bumps on a ski slope are merely opportunities for epic airtime. May this birthday bring fewer bruises than training days and more laughs than wipeouts. Keep soaring high (and landing safely), because age is only important if you're cheese or wine—and luckily, legends like you get better with time!
