Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on June 29, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Shannon Boxx! You're the midfield maestro who made winning Olympic gold medals look easier than tying shoelaces—2004, 2008, and 2012 were basically your personal highlight reels. Your opponents probably still wake up in cold sweats remembering how effortlessly you controlled the pitch.

From dominating World Cups to inspiring countless young athletes with your relentless energy and skillful playmaking, you've truly set a golden standard. May this birthday be as legendary as your career—and may you celebrate it with fewer sprints but just as much joy!

Cheers to another year of greatness (and maybe fewer slide tackles)!
