Happy Birthday, Tatyana Kazankina! You're still making laps around everyone else—even when blowing out birthday candles. With Olympic gold medals in the 800-meter and 1500-meter races at Montreal '76—and another impressive victory at Moscow '80—you've set unbeatable records for speed (and probably cake consumption too!).Your fierce determination on track inspired generations of runners worldwide—some might say they're still chasing your shadow! May this special day be filled with laughter, relaxation... and fewer stopwatch timings. Remember: birthdays are your chance to slow down just enough so that we mortals can finally keep pace. Happy running—I mean happy celebrating—Tatyana!
