Let's make this birthday one to remember.

33 years old (Born on June 09, 1992)

Happy Birthday, Yannick Agnel! May your celebration be as smooth and swift as your freestyle at the 2012 Olympics—just without having to break a sweat or set any records this time. Remember when you outpaced everyone by several strokes in that unforgettable London final? We're pretty sure it's still haunting some swimmers' dreams.

On this special occasion, relax knowing you've made countless French swimming fans happier than seeing fresh baguettes emerge from an oven—thanks largely to those gold medals and remarkable world-record swims. So make waves today (the fun party kind!), but please save breaking new records for tomorrow. Joyeux anniversaire, champion!
