More 444/$$$

... continuing from my previous post, another notable person was born on October 4, 1888:
His wiki page reveals that one of his brothers was also a speed skater:  Sigurd Valdemar, note from his wiki page:
Sigurd Mathisen (April 26, 1884 – March 4, 1919)
Note the repeat of 4... Oscar was born on the 4th and his brother was also born on the 4th!!  Hmmm, butt the inner twin world usually work in three's... so there must be more.  Reading Sigurd's wiki page, I DO find MORE:

  • World record
  • In 1908 Sigurd Mathisen improved the world record on 500m, finishing on 44.4 seconds (sharing the record with Johan Vikander, who also finished on 44.4 seconds in the same event).[2] The record lasted four years, until beaten by Oscar Mathisen in 1912.
  • DisciplineTimeDateLocation
    500 m0.44,4February 9, 1908Switzerland Davos

 This is another addition then to the "Money Theme" pattern-cluster ... since the number 4 shares the same key on my keyboard as the $ dollar sign.
