Happy Birthday, Tesfaye Tola! You're the marathon legend who proved that running 26.2 miles is just a casual jog in the park—especially when there's an Olympic bronze medal waiting at the finish line. Your incredible performance at Sydney 2000 still has us catching our breath, and your fourth-place finish at the 2001 World Championships showed everyone you're always ready to chase greatness.Today, we celebrate you—not just for your speed and endurance—but also for inspiring countless runners to lace up their shoes (and reminding us couch potatoes how comfy our sofas really are). Keep running strong, Tesfaye!
