Brock Whiston denied Good Britain team-mate Alice Tai a gold medal at 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 major championship, conquer American Jessica Long in to second.
She even also took the entire album of the American.
You will find silvers on the penultimate evening of action for Reece Dunn, Ellie Robinson along with Bethany Firth.
This means GB have 39 awards, such as 15 golds, entering Sunday’s final day of competition.
Before she realised that she was qualified for Para-swimming 22, whiston, has hemiplegia, that induces weakness down one side of her own body and was a swimmer in contest.
“After I was about 15 I was starting to discover things difficult in training and was suffering with a great deal of dislocations in my shoulder,” she told BBC Sport.
“We were nationals a couple of years ago and one of those English Para-swimming staff asked me if I’d ever wondered para-swimming, that I had not.
“I watched Ellie Simmonds’s 400m freestyle race at London 2012 and also to be here following in her footsteps is just unbelievable.”
Whiston’s power is her breaststroke and despite turning 10 seconds behind Tai to the breaststroke leg, it took her less than 25m to reevaluate her team-mate and have a lead that she never looked like losing.
She completed in two moments 35.30 seconds, beating Long’s old mark, set at the US Paralympic trials in 2012 from 0.7secs.
“To have raced Jess and Alice, a couple of the greatest swimmers in this group, and come off with a gold is so amazing,” she added.
“I don’t believe it has sunk . Jess’s world list was amazing and to now maintain this, I can not ask for much more from my initial key tournament”
While Tai stated that she was still happy with her display whiston, who was also a part of the medley relay on Friday, goes again on Sunday in the 100m breaststroke in which she is favourite to get a golden.
“I understand Brock has an insanely powerful breaststroke so my trainer’s game plan was’Move out hard and should you die, at least die trying!’ And that’s just what happened,” she explained.
“Halfway down the breaststroke leg, I couldn’t feel my body and when I switched onto the freestyle I thought’oh dear’.
“But I have not trained for the medley – I don’t train breaststroke whatsoever and fourth is a fantastic outcome.”
Paralympic champion Robinson saw her S6 50m butterfly world record of 35.22secs disappear at the hands of 14-year-old Chinese rival Yuyan Jiang that was winning her third gold of this week.
The 18-year-old out of Northampton has pledged to use the defeat to spur her on for the next year’s Games in Tokyo.
“I’m really, really disappointed, not with coming second, but my period wasn’t as near my PB since I would want it to be,” she said after finishing in 35.61secs with Jiang clocking 34.86.
“I knew it would be very difficult since the Chinese girl has done really well here but I’ll go out and use this as motivation.
“She is not too far front of me and hopefully I can use it to question myself longer in training. Having that threat is nice but today I wish to put myself at the best place for Tokyo so when we stand on the cube no one knows who will win.”
Harry Maguire was his manager’s transfer priority also, the England defender is starting to show his worth, after impressing while being jeered against former team Leicester.
