Sharon Stouder's Birth Card: The Jack of Clubs
The Creative Messenger
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict an Olympic medal.
In the record
Sharon Marie Stouder (November 9, 1948 – June 23, 2013), also known by her married name Sharon Stouder Clark, was an American competition swimmer, three-time Olympic champion, and former world record-holder in four events. The birth-card coordinate for November 9 is the Jack of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of Sharon Stouder's 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming.
Summer Olympic gold record
Wikidata records 4 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1964. 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 Sharon Stouder (Q241831), not a reading of character. 1964 1964 Summer Olympics: gold in 1964 Summer Olympics in Q212434. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – women's 100 metre butterfly in competitive swimming. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay in competitive swimming. 1964: gold in swimming at the 1964 Summer Olympics – women's 4 × 100 metre medley relay in competitive swimming.

The Jack of Clubs coordinate
Sharon Stouder was born November 9 (1948-11-09). Month 11 and day 9 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 1948 is unused. The Jack of Clubs does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Sharon Stouder for United States. Quoted system copy for the Jack of Clubs, not a biography of Sharon Stouder: 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."
Sharon Stouder in the public record
At only three, Sharon started swimming and began competition by eight, taking two firsts and setting age-group records in her first meet. She held 20 firsts in national age-group events, and took six National Junior Olympic age group ratings. Stouder attended Glendora High School, and swam for Hall of Fame coach Don Gambril's highly competitive and nationally ranked City of Commerce Swim Club near Southeast Los Angeles. Earlier, Sharon swam with Gambril's Rosemead swim club which later merged with City of Commerce. As a 15-year-old, outperforming initial expectations, she won three gold medals and one silver at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. She won the women's 100-meter butterfly unexpectedly beating the favored Dutch champion Ada Kok, and was a member of the winning U.S. teams in the women's 4×100-meter freestyle relay and the women's 4×100-meter medley relay. In an outstanding performance, she took second place in the women's 100-meter freestyle, finishing only 0.4 seconds behind favored Australian Dawn Fraser, for a total of four medals. In taking the Olympic silver medal, she became the second woman to break the one minute barrier in the 100-meter freestyle with a 59.9.

Where the record meets the Jack of Clubs
A card is a calendar coordinate, not a cause. What follows sets one line of the card's own published language beside one sentence of the sourced record, paired by a documented rule.
