Brock Whiston denied Great 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 occasion” on her program also was fourth.
Whistonin her first key championship, conquer American Jessica Long.
The world album of the American was taken by her.
There were silvers on the day of action for Bethany Firth, Reece Dunn and Ellie Robinson.
It means GB possess 39 awards, such as 15 golds.
Before she realised she was eligible for Para-swimming whiston, 22, has hemiplegia, that was a talented swimmer in non-disabled competition and causes weakness down the side of her body.
“Once I was around 15 I was starting to discover things difficult in coaching and had been suffering with a great deal of dislocations in my shoulder,” she told BBC Sport.
“We had been at nationals a couple of years back and one of the English Para-swimming staff asked me if I’d ever wondered para-swimming, that I hadn’t.
“I saw Ellie Simmonds’s 400m freestyle race in London 2012 and also to be here after in her footsteps is just unbelievable.”
Whiston’s strength is her breaststroke and despite turning 10 minutes behind Tai to the breaststroke leg, it took her less than 25m to reevaluate her team-mate and have a guide that 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 class, and come off with a gold is still great,” she added.
“I do not believe it has sunk in. Jess’s world album was incredible and to now maintain this, I can’t ask for more in my initial important championship.”
While Tai explained that she was happy with her display, whiston, who was also part of the successful medley relay on Friday, goes again on Sunday at the breaststroke where she’s favourite for a third golden.
“I know Brock has an insanely powerful breaststroke so that my coach’s game plan was’Move out hard and should you perish, at least die trying!’ And that’s just what occurred,” she said.
“Halfway down the breaststroke legI couldn’t feel my entire body and when I turned onto the freestyle I thought’oh dear’.
“However, I have not trained to the medley – that I don’t train breaststroke whatsoever and fourth is really a fantastic outcome.”
Paralympic champion Robinson saw her S6 50m butterfly world record of 35.22secs vanish at the hands of 14-year-old Chinese rival Yuyan Jiang that was winning her third gold of this week.
The 18-year-old from Northampton has vowed to use the defeat to market her .
“I’m really, really disappointed, not with forthcoming second, but my time wasn’t as close to my PB as I would like it to be,” she said after completing in 35.61secs with Jiang clocking 34.86.
“I knew it would be really difficult because the Chinese girl has done really well here but I will go out and use it as inspiration.
“She is not too far front of me and hopefully I can use it to question myself more in training. Having that threat is nice but now I want to put myself at the ideal location for Tokyo so when we stand on the cube no one knows who’ll win.”
