Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 7 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 2004 and 2008. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack. The medal list is a public award record for Aaron Peirsol (Q302510), not a reading of character. 2004 2004 Summer Olympics: gold in 2004 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 2004: gold in swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre backstroke in competitive swimming. 2004: gold in swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – men's 200 metre backstroke in competitive swimming. 2004: gold in swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 100 metre medley relay in competitive swimming. 2008 2008 Summer Olympics: gold in 2008 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 2008: gold in swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre backstroke in competitive swimming. 2008: gold in swimming at the 2008 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 100 metre medley relay in competitive swimming.

The 5 of Clubs coordinate

Aaron Peirsol was born July 23 (1983-07-23). Month 7 and day 23 give solar value 18, which is the 5 of Clubs (The Dynamic Innovator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1983 is unused. The 5 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Aaron Peirsol for United States. Quoted system copy for the 5 of Clubs, not a biography of Aaron Peirsol: You pressure-test a stale idea in public and let the better one win. Your mind craves novelty, variety, and freedom. You get bored easily and need constant stimulation. You're the one who disrupts stale thinking.
