Michael Diamond's Birth Card: The Queen of Clubs
The Nurturing Leader
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
Michael Constantine Diamond, OAM (born 20 May 1972) is a professional target shooter from Australia. The birth-card coordinate for May 20 is the Queen of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of Michael Diamond's 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in shooting sports.
Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in shooting sports for Australia across 1996 and 2000. 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 Michael Diamond (Q1927297), not a reading of character. 1996: gold in shooting at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's trap in shooting sports. 2000: gold in shooting at the 2000 Summer Olympics – men's trap in shooting sports.
- 1996 shooting at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's trap (shooting sports)
- 2000 shooting at the 2000 Summer Olympics – men's trap (shooting sports)
The Queen of Clubs coordinate
Michael Diamond was born May 20 (1972-05-20). Month 5 and day 20 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 1972 is unused. The Queen of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Michael Diamond for Australia. Quoted system copy for the Queen of Clubs, not a biography of Michael Diamond: 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.
Michael Diamond in the public record
Diamond was introduced to sport shooting at the age of eight by his father, Con, who was a sporting shooter and managed a gun club. Mastering the shotgun, Diamond succeeded in winning the Olympic gold medal for trap consecutively in Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney in 2000, becoming the second men's trap shooter to have done so. He held the world record in double trap, and held the final world record in trap between 2007 and 2008. Diamond is of Greek heritage. In 1997, he changed his surname from Diamantopoulos to Diamond. Diamond won the trap event at the 2007 World Shotgun Championships. He was selected to compete in his sixth Olympic Games in London. At the end of the qualification period, he was leading with an Olympic record of 125/125, but ended up finishing fourth overall, losing to Fehaid Aldeehani of Kuwait in a bronze Medal shoot-out.

Where the record meets the 3 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 Michael Diamond, and not a forecast of a gold medal.
