Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 5 Summer Olympic gold medals in artistic gymnastics for Japan across 1968–1976. 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 Sawao Katō (Q312684), not a reading of character. 1968: gold in gymnastics at the 1968 Summer Olympics – men's artistic individual all-around in gymnastics. 1968: gold in gymnastics at the 1968 Summer Olympics – men's floor in gymnastics. 1972: gold in gymnastics at the 1972 Summer Olympics – men's artistic individual all-around in gymnastics. 1972: gold in gymnastics at the 1972 Summer Olympics – men's parallel bars in gymnastics. 1976: gold in gymnastics at the 1976 Summer Olympics – men's parallel bars in gymnastics.

The Jack of Clubs coordinate

Sawao Katō was born October 11 (1946-10-11). Month 10 and day 11 give solar value 24, which is the Jack of Clubs (The Creative Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1946 is unused. The Jack of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Sawao Katō for Japan. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Clubs, not a biography of Sawao Katō: You bring a new angle and stay long enough for someone to test it. You bring new thinking and inspiration. You're the one who shifts how people think about things. You have the gift of the "aha moment."

Sawao Katō in the public record

Between 1968 and 1976 he won twelve Olympic medals, including eight gold medals, making him the most successful Japanese Olympian by number of gold medals won. Katō was born in Niigata Prefecture on October 11, 1946, and studied at the Tokyo Kyoiku University. He first competed in the Olympics in 1968, alongside his elder brother Takeshi. They won the team competition, with Sawao also taking gold medals in the all-around and on the floor. He placed third in the rings event. Four years later the Japanese men's gymnastics team dominated the 1972 Olympics, taking 15 out of 21 individual medals. Katō won gold medals all-around and in the parallel bars and silvers on the horizontal bar and pommel horse. He aimed for an unprecedented third gold medal in the all-around at the 1976 Summer Olympics, but was defeated by Nikolai Andrianov.
