The birth-card coordinate for February 26 is the Queen of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of Rie Mastenbroek's 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming.

Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for Netherlands across 1936. 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 Rie Mastenbroek (Q235792), not a reading of character. 1936: gold in swimming at the 1936 Summer Olympics – women's 100 metre freestyle in competitive swimming. 1936: gold in swimming at the 1936 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming. 1936: gold in swimming at the 1936 Summer Olympics – women's 400 metre freestyle in competitive swimming.

The Queen of Clubs coordinate

Rie Mastenbroek was born February 26 (1919-02-26). Month 2 and day 26 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 1919 is unused. The Queen of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Rie Mastenbroek for Netherlands. Quoted system copy for the Queen of Clubs, not a biography of Rie Mastenbroek: 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.

Rie Mastenbroek in the public record

Born in Rotterdam, she started swimming under the coaching of "Ma" Braun, who had coached her daughter to an Olympic gold medal in 1928. In 1934, Mastenbroek won three gold medals and a silver at the European Championships. She repeated that performance at the 1936 Summer Olympics, aged only 17, winning the 100 m freestyle, 400 m freestyle and the 4×100 m freestyle. In the 100 m backstroke, she finished second behind teammate Nida Senff. (Senff missed a turning point and had to swim back before completing the last 50 m. She nevertheless beat Mastenbroek thanks to an outstanding last leg.) The following year she became a swimming instructor, thereby losing her amateur status and becoming ineligible for competition. During her career she broke nine world records (six for backstroke and three for freestyle). In 1968 she was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. In 1997 she received the Olympic Order.
