Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in artistic gymnastics for Japan across 1972 and 1976. 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 Mitsuo Tsukahara (Q439417), not a reading of character. 1972: gold in gymnastics at the 1972 Summer Olympics – men's horizontal bar in gymnastics. 1976: gold in gymnastics at the 1976 Summer Olympics – men's horizontal bar in gymnastics.

The 9 of Hearts coordinate

Mitsuo Tsukahara was born December 22 (1947-12-22). Month 12 and day 22 give solar value 9, which is the 9 of Hearts (The Compassionate Idealist). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1947 is unused. The 9 of Hearts does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Mitsuo Tsukahara for Japan. Quoted system copy for the 9 of Hearts, not a biography of Mitsuo Tsukahara: You stay kind without picking up what is not yours. You're wired for a love that extends beyond the personal—compassion for people, causes, and the world. You feel others' pain as your own and are moved to ease it. At your best, you carry deep wisdom about what to hold and what to release.

Mitsuo Tsukahara in the public record

He was five times an Olympic Gold Medalist. He remained active in the sport after his retirement from competition. He served as vice president of the Japan Gymnastic Association. Tsukahara competed throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, retiring from gymnastics competition in 1978 after the World Championships. Winning five gold, one silver and three bronze medals, Tsukahara was an important contributor in Japan's win at the team competition in three consecutive Olympic Games: in 1968, 1972 and 1976. He married fellow gymnast Chieko Oda. He has remained connected to the gymnastics world, partly through his son Naoya Tsukahara, who was also a multi-medalist at the World Championships and Olympic Games throughout the late 1990s and who still competed as of 2014. Tsukahara's name is one of the most famous in gymnastics due to its association with two widely performed skills.
