Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 3 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 6 of Diamonds coordinate

Mike Troy was born October 3 (1940-10-03). Month 10 and day 3 give solar value 32, which is the 6 of Diamonds (The Generous Provider). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1940 is unused. The 6 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Mike Troy for United States. Quoted system copy for the 6 of Diamonds, not a biography of Mike Troy: You move resources toward other people without erasing your own claim. You naturally want to provide for others. Your resources flow toward helping and supporting. You're the one people come to when they need something.

Mike Troy in the public record

The peak of Troy's swimming career occurred between 1959 and 1960 while he was coached by Doc Counsilman of the Indiana Hoosiers swimming and diving team at Indiana University. At the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, he won his first gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the men's 4×200-meter freestyle relay. Individually, he won a second gold with his first-place finish in the men's 200-meter butterfly—his signature event. Troy broke the world record in the 200-meter butterfly six consecutive times before it was taken over by fellow American swimmer Carl Robie in 1961. In 1971 he was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. After college, Troy entered active duty with the United States Navy on February 15, 1964, and completed Officer Candidate School. Troy was commissioned as an Ensign and volunteered for Underwater Demolition Training, now known as Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training. After months of grueling training, Troy graduated with BUD/S class 33 in December 1964.
