Hamza Yerlikaya's Birth Card: The Jack of Diamonds
The Successful Messenger
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.

Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in amateur wrestling, Greco-Roman wrestling for Turkey across 1996 and 2000. 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 Hamza Yerlikaya (Q1399210), not a reading of character. 1996: gold in wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's Greco-Roman 82 kg in Greco-Roman wrestling. 2000: gold in wrestling at the 2000 Summer Olympics – men's Greco-Roman 85 kg in Greco-Roman wrestling.

The Jack of Diamonds coordinate
Hamza Yerlikaya was born June 6 (1976-06-06). Month 6 and day 6 give solar value 37, which is the Jack of Diamonds (The Successful Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1976 is unused. The Jack of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Hamza Yerlikaya for Turkey. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Diamonds, not a biography of Hamza Yerlikaya: You try a new approach to value and you finish enough of it to know if it works. You bring new ways of thinking about resources and success. You're the one who shifts how people relate to money. You inspire financial breakthroughs.
Hamza Yerlikaya in the public record
He is a two-time (in 1996 and 2000) Olympic champion, three-time World Champion (1993, 1995, and 2005), and the first Turkish wrestler to become European champion a record eight times, a feat that has since been matched by Rıza Kayaalp. He was ranked third in a list of all-time-best wrestlers by the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) and was named the "Wrestler of the Century" in 1996. A sports complex in Gaziosmanpaşa district of Istanbul is named after him. His family was originally from Sivas, but they moved to Istanbul three months prior to Hamza's birth. His father Mustafa Yerlikaya is also a wrestler but was no longer active by the time Hamza was born. He started wrestling aged 11 encouraged by his father and inspired by his elder brother Muttalip Yerlikaya who is also a wrestler with international success. Hamza Yerlikaya's first international competition was in 1991 World Cadets Wrestling Championships in Quebec, Canada, in which he got the fourth place. His first senior international event was the 1993 European Wrestling Championships in Istanbul where he got the second place, losing to Thomas Zander in the finals.

Where the record meets the 3 of Spades

It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Hamza Yerlikaya, and not a forecast of a gold medal.
