Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on July 03, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Mike Burton! You're still making waves—though thankfully now they're mostly in birthday cake frosting. From your incredible Olympic triumphs in Mexico City '68 to Munich '72, you've always known how to dive headfirst into success (and pools). Three gold medals later, you're proof that chlorine might just be the fountain of youth.

Here's wishing you a day filled with laughter and joy that's as timeless as your legendary swimming career. May this year bring more victories—even if nowadays they involve beating everyone else to the dessert table rather than touching first at the wall!
