Wikidata records 3 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for United States across 1968. Only Summer Games gold medals count here. Winter-only careers and single-gold athletes are out of this pack.

The 5 of Diamonds coordinate

Stephen Rerych was born May 14 (1946-05-14). Month 5 and day 14 give solar value 31, which is the 5 of Diamonds (The Dynamic Entrepreneur). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1946 is unused. The 5 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Stephen Rerych for United States. Quoted system copy for the 5 of Diamonds, not a biography of Stephen Rerych: You adjust the resource plan when the ground moves, without pretending nothing changed. You crave variety in resources and experiences. You get bored with one income stream, one investment, one way of working. You need novelty and freedom in your material life.
