Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in Greco-Roman wrestling, wrestling for Soviet Union across 1988–1996. 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 Alexander Karelin (Q187247), not a reading of character. 1988: gold in wrestling at the 1988 Summer Olympics – men's Greco-Roman 130 kg in Greco-Roman wrestling. 1992: gold in wrestling at the 1992 Summer Olympics – men's Greco-Roman 130 kg in Greco-Roman wrestling. 1996: gold in wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's Greco-Roman 130 kg in Greco-Roman wrestling.

The 5 of Clubs coordinate

Alexander Karelin was born September 19 (1967-09-19). Month 9 and day 19 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 1967 is unused. The 5 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Alexander Karelin for Soviet Union. Quoted system copy for the 5 of Clubs, not a biography of Alexander Karelin: 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.

Alexander Karelin in the public record

Karelin competed in Greco-Roman wrestling, representing the Soviet Union and Russia between 1986 and 2000. Nicknamed the "Russian Bear", "Russian King Kong", "Alexander the Great", "The Experiment", and "The Crane from Novosibirsk", he is widely considered to be the greatest and most dominant Greco-Roman wrestler of all time. Karelin won gold medals at the 1988, 1992, and 1996 Olympic Games under a different flag each time (Soviet Union, Unified Team, and Russia respectively), and a silver medal at the 2000 Olympic Games. His wrestling record at the senior level was 887 wins and two losses, both considered controversial and both by a single point. Prior to his defeat to American Rulon Gardner at the 2000 Olympics finals, a point had not been scored against him in competition the previous six years. He went undefeated in the World Championships, having never lost a match, winning nine gold medals, and he won twelve gold medals at the European Championships. His twelve gold medals at the world level are the most in men’s wrestling history across both freestyle and Greco-Roman disciplines. Karelin's thirteen total world-level medals are tied for the all-time record in men’s wrestling history, along with American wrestler Bruce Baumgartner.
