Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on May 16, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Simon Whitfield! You're the only guy we know who can swim like a dolphin, cycle faster than rush-hour traffic in Toronto, and still have enough energy left to sprint past everyone at Sydney 2000. Your Olympic gold medal moment remains legendary—proving once again that Canadians don't just excel on ice!

Even though it's been years since your epic finish line celebration down under, you're forever Canada's triathlon superhero. May this birthday bring you as much joy (and fewer cramps) as crossing that historic finish line did back then. Keep inspiring us all with your timeless endurance—and humor!
