Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on August 14, 1991)

Happy Birthday, Richard Freitag! May your celebrations soar higher than your legendary jumps at the 2013 World Championships. Winning silver in the team large hill and bronze in mixed normal hill was impressive—though rumor has it gravity is still holding a grudge against you for defying its rules so spectacularly.

As another year flies by (almost as gracefully as you do), remember: age is just like ski jumping—the numbers get bigger, but it's all about style points anyway. Keep landing smoothly into life's adventures; after all, medals may tarnish over time—but epic memories of airborne glory last forever!
