Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 5 Summer Olympic gold medals in surfing, competitive swimming, water polo for United States across 1912 and 1920. 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 Duke Kahanamoku (Q123688), not a reading of character. 1912 1912 Summer Olympics: gold in 1912 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1912: gold in swimming at the 1912 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1920 1920 Summer Olympics: gold in 1920 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1920: gold in swimming at the 1920 Summer Olympics – men's 100 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1920: gold in swimming at the 1920 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming.

The 2 of Clubs coordinate

Duke Kahanamoku was born August 24 (1890-08-24). Month 8 and day 24 give solar value 15, which is the 2 of Clubs (The Collaborative Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1890 is unused. The 2 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Duke Kahanamoku for United States. Quoted system copy for the 2 of Clubs, not a biography of Duke Kahanamoku: You think best with someone else in the room, and you still leave with a position of your own. You think best with others. Ideas solidify when you talk them through. You're the debater, the collaborator, the one who makes partnerships work through communication.
