78 years old (Born on October 11, 1946)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Sawao Kato! With eight Olympic gold medals, your gymnastics career flipped higher than most of us can even jump. Your graceful moves and gravity-defying routines made history—and probably left physics professors scratching their heads.From Mexico City in 1968 through Munich '72 and Montreal '76, you didn't just win—you soared into gymnastic immortality with style that still inspires awe today. May this birthday bring as much joy (and fewer flips) as those golden moments did back then—because let's face it: you've already stuck every landing life has thrown at you!
