Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in athletics for Kenya across 2012 and 2016. 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 David Rudisha (Q1659), not a reading of character. 2012: gold in athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – men's 800 metres in athletics. 2016: gold in athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – men's 800 metres in athletics.

The Ace of Clubs coordinate

David Rudisha was born December 17 (1988-12-17). Month 12 and day 17 give solar value 14, which is the Ace of Clubs (The Creative Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1988 is unused. The Ace of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on David Rudisha for Kenya. Quoted system copy for the Ace of Clubs, not a biography of David Rudisha: You start the new thought while it is still usable. Ideas come through you first. You're the one who thinks of the new thing, the new way, the new possibility. Your mind is restless, always generating.
