Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on November 23, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Shane Gould! You're still making waves faster than anyone else can swim them. From your triple gold medal splash at the 1972 Munich Olympics—dominating the 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle, and the tricky 200m individual medley—you've always been ahead of your time (and everyone else's stopwatch).

Even today, you're proof that legends never retire—they just keep swimming laps around us mere mortals. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought Australia pride. Here's hoping your cake is Olympic-sized—but don't worry about calories; we know you'll out-swim them anyway!
