Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1952. 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 Ford Konno (Q891096), not a reading of character. 1952 1952 Summer Olympics: gold in 1952 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1952: gold in swimming at the 1952 Summer Olympics – men's 1500 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1952: gold in swimming at the 1952 Summer Olympics – men's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming.

The King of Spades coordinate

Ford Konno was born January 1 (1933-01-01). Month 1 and day 1 give solar value 52, which is the King of Spades (The Master of Thought). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1933 is unused. The King of Spades does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Ford Konno for United States. Quoted system copy for the King of Spades, not a biography of Ford Konno: You make the hard call without pretending you have no interior. You command through clarity and intellectual authority. You're the decision-maker, the authority on truth. Your thinking is decisive and definitive.
