Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in fencing for Hungary across 1936 and 1948. 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 Ilona Elek (Q241341), not a reading of character. 1936: gold in fencing at the 1936 Summer Olympics – women's foil in fencing. 1948: gold in fencing at the 1948 Summer Olympics – women's foil in fencing.

The 2 of Diamonds coordinate

Ilona Elek was born May 17 (1907-05-17). Month 5 and day 17 give solar value 28, which is the 2 of Diamonds (The Financial Partner). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1907 is unused. The 2 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Ilona Elek for Hungary. Quoted system copy for the 2 of Diamonds, not a biography of Ilona Elek: You name the exchange out loud and keep it fair for both sides. You understand value exchange and partnership in material terms. You're good at splitting bills, sharing assets, creating fair deals. Your mind works in reciprocity.

Ilona Elek in the public record

Elek won more international fencing titles than any other woman. Elek was born on 17 May 1907, in Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary to a Hungarian-Jewish father born Eisler who 1939 converted to Lutheranism and a Roman-Catholic mother. She had seven siblings, including two-time Olympic fencer Margit Elek, and her mother died when she was 11 years old. She graduated from a music school. When Hungary entered World War II on the side of Nazi Germany, Hungarian Jews were forbidden from entering fencing competitions, and so Elek and her sister, who was also half-Jewish, were unable to compete until after the war ended. Elek competed for Hungary in three Olympiads, winning three medals. She is considered to be one of the greatest female fencers in the history of the sport. Elek won the Hungarian foil championship in 1946–47, 1949–50, and 1952.
