Lindsay Benko's Birth Card: The 4 of Hearts
The Emotional Foundation Builder
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.
In the record
Lindsay Dianne Benko (born November 29, 1976), known by her married name Lindsay Mintenko since 2005, is an American former competition swimmer, two-time Olympian, former world record-holder, and a managing director of USA Swimming. The birth-card coordinate for November 29 is the 4 of Hearts — a calendar position, not a forecast of Lindsay Benko's 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming.
Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 2000 and 2004. 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 Lindsay Benko (Q452781), not a reading of character. 2000 2000 Summer Olympics: gold in 2000 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 2000: gold in swimming at the 2000 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming. 2004 2004 Summer Olympics: gold in 2004 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 2004: gold in swimming at the 2004 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming.

The 4 of Hearts coordinate
Lindsay Benko was born November 29 (1976-11-29). Month 11 and day 29 give solar value 4, which is the 4 of Hearts (The Emotional Foundation Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1976 is unused. The 4 of Hearts does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Lindsay Benko for United States. Quoted system copy for the 4 of Hearts, not a biography of Lindsay Benko: You build a home people can count on, and you leave enough air for feeling to move. You build security in love through consistency, reliability, and trust. You're the steady one—the person others can count on to show up the same way tomorrow. You create the stable home base a relationship needs.
Lindsay Benko in the public record

Where the record meets the 4 of Hearts
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule. It is a resemblance offered for the reader to weigh — not a claim about Lindsay Benko, and not a forecast of a gold medal.
