Brock Whiston denied Good Britain team-mate Alice Tai a seventh gold medal in the World Para-swimming Championships.
Tai, who has swept all before her week, explained the medley as a”bonus event” on her program and was fourth.
Whistonin her first significant championship, defeat American Jessica Long.
She even also took the American’s entire record.
You will find silvers on the evening of action for Bethany Firth, Reece Dunn along with Ellie Robinson.
This means GB have 39 awards, such as 15 golds, going into Sunday’s final day of competition.
Before she realised that she was qualified for Para-swimming 22, whiston, has hemiplegia, which induces weakness and has been a gifted swimmer at non-disabled contest.
“When I was about 15 I had been starting to find things hard in coaching and was suffering with a great deal of dislocations in my shoulder,” she told BBC Sport.
“We were at nationals a couple of years ago and one of the English Para-swimming staff asked me if I’d ever thought about para-swimming, that I had not.
“I saw Ellie Simmonds’s 400m freestyle race at London 2012 and to be here following in her footsteps is just unbelievable.”
Whiston’s power is her breaststroke and despite turning 10 minutes behind Tai to the breaststroke leg, then it took her less than 25m to overhaul her team-mate and take a guide that she never looked like losing.
She completed in two minutes 35.30 seconds, beating Long’s old mark, set at the US Paralympic trials in 2012 by 0.7secs.
“To have raced Jess and Alice, two of the greatest swimmers in this category, and come off with a gold is so great,” she added.
“I do not believe it has sunk . Jess’s world record was amazing and to now take it, I can not ask for much more in my very first significant championship.”
While Tai reported that she was happy with her display whiston, who was also part of the medley relay on Friday, goes on Sunday in the 100m breaststroke where she’s preferred for a third gold.
“I understand Brock has an insanely powerful breaststroke so that my coach’s game plan was’Go out tough and should you die, at least die trying!’ And that is exactly what occurred,” she said.
“Halfway down the breaststroke legI couldn’t feel my entire body and when I switched onto the freestyle I thought’oh dear’.
“But I have not trained for the medley – that I don’t train breaststroke at all and fourth is really a fantastic outcome.”
Paralympic winner Robinson watched her S6 50m butterfly world record of 35.22secs vanish at the hands of 14-year-old Chinese rival Yuyan Jiang who was winning her third gold of the week.
The 18-year-old out of Northampton has pledged to utilize the defeat to spur her on.
“I’m really, really frustrated, not with coming moment, but my time was not as near my PB since I would like it to be,” she said after completing in 35.61secs using Jiang clocking 34.86.
“I knew it would be really difficult because the Chinese woman has done really well here but I will go away and use this as inspiration.
“She is not too far front of me and hopefully I can use it in order to question myself more in training. Having that danger is fine but now I want to place myself at the best location for Tokyo so if we stand on the cube no one knows who’ll win.”
