Summer Olympic gold record

Wikidata records 2 Summer Olympic gold medals in table tennis for People's Republic of China across 2012. Only Summer Games gold medals count here.

The 9 of Diamonds coordinate

Zhang Jike was born February 16 (1988-02-16). Month 2 and day 16 give solar value 35, which is the 9 of Diamonds (The Universal Provider). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1988 is unused. The 9 of Diamonds does not predict Olympic results and is not a verdict on Zhang Jike for People's Republic of China. Quoted system copy for the 9 of Diamonds, not a biography of Zhang Jike: You give in a way you can sustain, and you let someone give back. You think about resources in terms of universal good and human need. You want to provide for humanity. Your vision is about abundance for all.
