Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on July 25, 1974)

Happy Birthday to Bulgaria's legendary strongman, Sevdalin Minchev! Rumor has it you're the only athlete who still warms up by lifting your birthday cake above your head—candles and all. From dominating four Olympic Games to securing that glorious bronze medal at Atlanta in 1996, you've shown immense strength both physically and mentally.

Years on from Atlanta, we’re confident you still bench-press more weight than most of us can even calculate—and definitely haven’t lost your charm or humor along the way. Wishing you a fabulous day filled with laughter, good company…and perhaps slightly lighter weights just for today!
