Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in canoeing and kayaking for Slovakia across 1996 and 2008. 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 Michal Martikán (Q287399), not a reading of character. 1996: gold in canoeing at the 1996 Summer Olympics – men's slalom C-1 in canoeing and kayaking. 2008: gold in canoeing at the 2008 Summer Olympics – men's slalom C-1 in canoeing and kayaking.

The Ace of Diamonds coordinate

Michal Martikán was born May 18 (1979-05-18). Month 5 and day 18 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 1979 is unused. The Ace of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Michal Martikán for Slovakia. Quoted system copy for the Ace of Diamonds, not a biography of Michal Martikán: 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.
