Brock Whiston denied Good Britain team-mate Alice Tai a gold medal in the World Para-swimming Championships having a world record success from the SM8 200m individual medley.
Tai, who has swept all before her this week, explained the medley as a”bonus occasion” on her schedule and was fourth.
Whiston, in her first major championship, beat American Jessica Long in to second.
She also took the American’s world record.
You will find silvers on the penultimate day of activity for Ellie Robinson, Reece Dunn and Bethany Firth.
It means GB have 39 medals, including 15 golds.
Whiston has hemiplegia, that induces weakness down one side of her body and has been a talented swimmer in non-disabled contest before she realised that she was eligible for Para-swimming.
“When I was about 15 I was beginning to discover things hard in practice and had been suffering with a great deal of dislocations in my shoulder,” she told BBC Sport.
“We had been nationals a couple years ago and one of those English Para-swimming staff asked me if I had ever wondered para-swimming, which I had not.
“I saw Ellie Simmonds’s 400m freestyle race at London 2012 and to be here after in her footsteps is just unbelievable.”
Whiston’s power is her breaststroke and despite turning 10 minutes behind Tai to the breaststroke leg, it took her less than 25m to overhaul her team-mate and take a guide which she never looked like losing.
She finished in two moments 35.30 seconds, beating Long’s old mark, set at the US Paralympic trials in 2012 from 0.7secs.
“To have hurried Jess and Alice, two of the best swimmers in this category, and come away with a gold is wonderful,” she added.
“I really don’t believe it has sunk in. Jess’s world list was incredible and to now maintain this, I can’t ask for anything more from my first significant championship.”
Whiston, who was also a part of the medley relay on Friday, goes again on Sunday at the breaststroke while Tai reported that she was happy with her screen.
“I understand Brock has got an insanely strong breaststroke so that my trainer’s game plan was’Move out hard and should you die, at least die trying!’ And that’s just what happened,” she said.
“Halfway down the breaststroke legI could not feel my entire 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 at all and fourth is a good 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 who was winning her third gold of the week.
The 18-year-old from Northampton has vowed to utilize the defeat to spur her on for next year’s Games in Tokyo.
“I’m really, really frustrated, not with coming second, but my period was not as near my PB as I would want it to be,” she said after finishing in 35.61secs with Jiang clocking 34.86.
“I knew it would be quite difficult because the Chinese girl has done really well here but I will go out and use it as motivation.
“She’s not too far front of me and hopefully I can use it in order to question myself longer in training. Possessing that danger is nice but now I wish to place myself in the ideal location for Tokyo so if we stand on the cube no one knows who will win.”
