40 years old (Born on May 23, 1984)
Happy Birthday, Ross! From making waves at your Olympic debut in Athens back in 2004 to swimming circles around the competition ever since—you've certainly proven that chlorine is thicker than water. Your impressive strokes and record-breaking moments have left us all breathless (though thankfully not underwater!).Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as winning medals or setting personal bests—without having to wake up for those early morning training sessions! May your day be filled with laughter, cake that's calorie-free (we can dream!), and plenty of reminders about how you're still faster than most dolphins.
