Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1960. 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 Lynn Burke (Q267110), not a reading of character. 1960: gold in swimming at the 1960 Summer Olympics – women's 100 metre backstroke in competitive swimming. 1960: gold in swimming at the 1960 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 100 metre medley relay in competitive swimming.

The Ace of Diamonds coordinate
Lynn Burke was born March 22 (1943-03-22). Month 3 and day 22 give solar value 27, which is the Ace of Diamonds (The Wealth Pioneer). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1943 is unused. The Ace of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Lynn Burke for United States. Quoted system copy for the Ace of Diamonds, not a biography of Lynn Burke: You start a resource in motion because you trust you can make and keep value. You're wired to build, accumulate, and create resources. Money and material success are your native language. You're the one who starts from nothing and builds something.
Lynn Burke in the public record
Born on March 22, 1943, to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Burke, Lynn Burke began swimming in her hometown of Flushing, New York by the age of four, and may have won her first medal at the Long Island Junior Swimming Championship at the Flushing YMCA around the age of nine. She swam for the Flushing YMCA for several years under Jess Brown, the Director of Athletics. Swimming as the Metropolitan American Athletic Union champion for the Flushing Y, at a New York Athletic Club meet on June 29, 1956 at the age of 13, Burke captured the 100-meter backstroke event in a time of 1:29.3. Representing the Flushing Y in January 1958, at a sanctioned AAU meet at Brentwood High, Burke won the 100-yard backstroke in the competitive time of 1:11. In July, 1959, Burke represented Portland's Multinomah Athletic Club where she swam a 1:15.3 in a meet for the 110-yard backstroke. A highly competitive program that included many Olympians in their history, MAC was coached by Jim Campbell from 1956-1958, and Jack Pobochenko from 1959-1960. Other 1960 Rome Olympic Athletes coached at the Multinomah Club included Carolyn Wood, a 1960 Olympic gold medalist in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, and Don Schollander, a four-time Olympic gold medalist.
