Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in canoeing and kayaking for Croatia across 1976 and 1984. 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 Matija Ljubek (Q2571837), not a reading of character. 1976: gold in canoeing at the 1976 Summer Olympics – men's C-1 1000 metres in canoeing and kayaking. 1984: gold in canoeing at the 1984 Summer Olympics – men's C-2 500 metres in canoeing and kayaking.

The Jack of Hearts coordinate

Matija Ljubek was born November 22 (1953-11-22). Month 11 and day 22 give solar value 11, which is the Jack of Hearts (The Romantic Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1953 is unused. The Jack of Hearts does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Matija Ljubek for Croatia. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Hearts, not a biography of Matija Ljubek: You bring a fresh read on love without leaving the room when it gets ordinary. You bring fresh perspective, inspiration, and youthful possibility to love. You see what a relationship could become and carry the spark that reawakens feeling.
