Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on May 23, 1986)

Happy Birthday, Tristan Thomas! May your celebrations hurdle smoothly over any obstacles—just like you did when sprinting to gold at the 2009 Summer Universiade. We hope today brings fewer hurdles and more cake!

From blazing around Berlin's track for a bronze medal in the World Championships relay, you've shown us all how speed and determination can lead to greatness (and medals!). Here's wishing that this year is filled with victories both on and off the track—and perhaps even faster times chasing after birthday treats.

Cheers to another lap around life's stadium; may it be your best yet!
