Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 7 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1964 and 1968. 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 Don Schollander (Q350531), not a reading of character. 1964 1964 Summer Olympics: gold in 1964 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – men's 400 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1968 1968 Summer Olympics: gold in 1968 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1968: gold in swimming at the 1968 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming.

The 4 of Clubs coordinate

Don Schollander was born April 30 (1946-04-30). Month 4 and day 30 give solar value 17, which is the 4 of Clubs (The Systematic Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1946 is unused. The 4 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Don Schollander for United States. Quoted system copy for the 4 of Clubs, not a biography of Don Schollander: You put thinking into an order other people can actually use. You organize thoughts into systems. You build frameworks, structures, and processes. Your mind naturally creates order from chaos.

Don Schollander in the public record

He won a total of five gold medals and one silver medal at the 1964 and 1968 Summer Olympics. With four gold medals, he was the most successful athlete at the 1964 Olympics. Schollander was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and learned competitive swimming from his uncle, Newt Perry, who ran a swimming school in Florida. As a boy, Schollander moved with his family to Lake Oswego, Oregon. Although his first sporting passion was football, he was too small to compete in high school football. Instead, he joined Lake Oswego High School's swim team, and in 1960, helped lead the team to an Oregon state swimming championship as a freshman. As a teenager in 1962, Schollander moved to Santa Clara, California to train under legendary swim coach George Haines of the Santa Clara Swim Club. Two years later at the age of 18, he won three freestyle events at the AAU national championships.
