Marie-José Pérec's Birth Card: The 10 of Diamonds
The Wealthy Master
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
Marie-José Pérec (French: [maʁi ʒoze peʁɛk] ; born 9 May 1968) is a retired French track and field sprinter who specialised in the 200 and 400 metres and is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. The birth-card coordinate for May 9 is the 10 of Diamonds — a calendar position, not a forecast of Marie-José Pérec's 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in athletics.
Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in athletics for France 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 Marie-José Pérec (Q228808), not a reading of character. 1992: gold in athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics – women's 400 metres in athletics. 1996: gold in athletics at the 1996 Summer Olympics – women's 200 metres in athletics. 1996: gold in athletics at the 1996 Summer Olympics – women's 400 metres in athletics.

The 10 of Diamonds coordinate
Marie-José Pérec was born May 9 (1968-05-09). Month 5 and day 9 give solar value 36, which is the 10 of Diamonds (The Wealthy Master). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1968 is unused. The 10 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Marie-José Pérec for France. Quoted system copy for the 10 of Diamonds, not a biography of Marie-José Pérec: You build enough and keep it structured so it actually holds. You've built, accumulated, and integrated material success. You have security, abundance, and wisdom. Your presence radiates material confidence.
Marie-José Pérec in the public record
She was born in the French overseas department of Guadeloupe and moved to Paris when she was 16 years old. Pérec first represented France in the 200 metres event at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, reaching the quarter-finals. She won the 400 metres world title at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo and repeated the feat at the 1995 World Championships in Gothenburg. She won her first Olympic gold medal in the 400 metres event at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. She entered the 200 metres and 400 metres events at the 1996 Atlanta Games and won both, achieving the second-ever Olympic 200 metres/400 metres gold medal double, after Valerie Brisco-Hooks in Los Angeles 1984. Pérec won the 400 metres title in an Olympic record time of 48.25 seconds, which ranked her as the third-fastest woman of all time. It took another 23 years before Salwa Eid Naser, in October 2019, surpassed her mark to demote Pérec to fourth in the list of world's fastest-ever female 400-metre sprinters. In addition to her Olympic and World titles, Pérec won the 400 metres title and was part of the gold medal-winning 4 × 400 metres relay team at the 1994 European Championships in Helsinki.

Where the record meets the Queen of Spades
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 Marie-José Pérec, and not a forecast of a gold medal.
