Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for Australia across 1992 and 1996. 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 Kieren Perkins (Q362197), not a reading of character. 1992 1992 Summer Olympics: gold in 1992 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1992: gold in swimming at the 1992 Summer Olympics – men's 1500 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1996 1996 Summer Olympics: gold in 1996 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1996: gold in swimming at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's 1500 metre freestyle in competitive swimming.

The Queen of Clubs coordinate

Kieren Perkins was born August 14 (1973-08-14). Month 8 and day 14 give solar value 25, which is the Queen of Clubs (The Nurturing Leader). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1973 is unused. The Queen of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Kieren Perkins for Australia. Quoted system copy for the Queen of Clubs, not a biography of Kieren Perkins: You teach from what you actually know, without making people earn the right to hear it. You have wisdom, understanding, and the natural ability to mentor. You create intellectual safety where people can grow. You're the wise guide.

Kieren Perkins in the public record

He specialised in the 1500-metre freestyle and won successive Olympic gold medals in this event in the 1990s. He won his first at the 1992 Olympics which he won in world record time and then at the 1996 Olympics when he defended his title. In total he won four Olympic medals. Perkins was born in Brisbane, Queensland. He attended Indooroopilly State Primary School and graduated from Brisbane Boys' College in the inner city suburb of Toowong. He began swimming regularly at age eight as part of his rehabilitation from a serious leg injury incurred after running through a plate glass window. At age 13 his potential became obvious, and with coach John Carew guiding him he won his first medal at the Australian Championships in Melbourne in 1989. Perkins's first major international meet was the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand.
