Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in competitive swimming for Japan across 1928 and 1932. 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 Yoshiyuki Tsuruta (Q1337624), not a reading of character. 1928: gold in swimming at the 1928 Summer Olympics – men's 200 metre breaststroke in competitive swimming. 1932: gold in swimming at the 1932 Summer Olympics – men's 200 metre breaststroke in competitive swimming.

The 8 of Diamonds coordinate

Yoshiyuki Tsuruta was born October 1 (1903-10-01). Month 10 and day 1 give solar value 34, which is the 8 of Diamonds (The Businessman). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1903 is unused. The 8 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Yoshiyuki Tsuruta for Japan. Quoted system copy for the 8 of Diamonds, not a biography of Yoshiyuki Tsuruta: You run the money system in the open and you can explain the call. You approach resources as something to master and control. You're ambitious, competitive, and strategic. You know how to play the game and win.
