Happy Birthday, Rowdy Gaines! It's hard to compete with someone who excelled so brilliantly in both pools and commentary booths. Your gold medal sweep at the 1984 Olympics—the iconic win in the 100-meter freestyle and your dynamic contribution to those victorious Team USA relays—is forever etched as a splashy chapter in swimming history.Even if you claim you've gotten slower since then, your enthusiasm sure hasn't cooled down! You've swapped goggles for microphones, making every race you call almost as thrilling as yours were. Cheers to another year of diving head-first into life and proving once more: age is just a lap number!
