Pam Keller (Italy) wanted to recognize an enthusiastic Italian athlete who celebrated his birthday with a gold medal - not a bad way to spend a birthday!

"Italy's Daniele Molmenti celebrates winning the gold medal in the final of the K-1 men's kayak slalom at Lee Valley Whitewater Center, at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012, in Waltham Cross near London."

Congratulations, Italy (Pam Keller) and keep sharing great stories like these! These stories really make the Olympics.
