Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in track cycling, cycle sport for Australia across 1952. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack.

The 10 of Clubs coordinate

Russell Mockridge was born July 18 (1928-07-18). Month 7 and day 18 give solar value 23, which is the 10 of Clubs (The Master Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1928 is unused. The 10 of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Russell Mockridge for Australia. Quoted system copy for the 10 of Clubs, not a biography of Russell Mockridge: You carry a finished body of knowledge and keep teaching from it. You've thought deeply and built significantly. You have wisdom, authority, and accomplishment. Your mind is seasoned and capable.

Russell Mockridge in the public record

He died during a race, in collision with a bus. The son of Robert Glover Mockridge and Aileen Claire Mockridge, née Riley, Edward Russell Mockridge (known as Russell) was born in Melbourne on 18 July 1928. Mockridge married Irene Pritchard (-2004), widely known as "Rene", in London, in 1953; they had a daughter, Melinda, who was born in Ghent, Belgium in December 1954. Mockridge started in 1946 by winning his first race of 40 km with Geelong Amateur Cycling Club. For his upper-class accent he was dubbed Little Lord Fauntleroy, but his wins soon earned him the nickname of The Geelong Flyer. He became described as 'Australia's greatest all-round cyclist for all time'. His ride in the 1948 Summer Olympics road race in London was ruined by two punctures and his team was eliminated in the quarter-final of the 4000 m team pursuit. He represented Australia at the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland.
