Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on October 08, 1977)

Happy Birthday to Reese Hoffa, the superstar of shot-putters! Since making your Olympic debut back in 2004, you've shown us all you truly know how to toss a heavy metal ball—and make it look fun. What's heavier—your incredible bronze medal from the London Olympics or our collective admiration for your endless feats? Either way, we're impressed!

On this special day, we hope someone else is doing all the lifting and throwing (maybe cake at close range?). Here's wishing you another year full of laughter and victories that knock records out just as effortlessly as you've done throughout your amazing career.
