After the absorbing Team and All-Around events earlier in the week, the individual finals got underway on Sunday in Rio with Great Britain's Max Whitlock dominating the programme.
First up in the floor final, Whitlock became Britain's first ever Olympic champion in Gymnastics despite not being a hot favourite, and then just over an hour later, he doubled-up with a victory on his favoured apparatus the Pommel Horse.
Whitlock's British teammate Louis Smith took silver on Pommel, with America's Alexander Naddour claiming bronze on an evening where Simone Biles confirmed her third gold of the week after winning on Vault.
Whitlock lays down early marker on floor
In the floor final which opened proceedings for Sunday’s competition, Whitlock was only thought of as an outside chance of picking up a medal with the pommel later in the evening where he was expected to make history.
It happened an hour earlier than expected though, and Great Britain had their first Olympic Gymnastic champion in the form of the 23-year-old from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire.
Taking to the floor third, Whitlock nailed his performance to take the lead with a score of 15.633, and none of the remaining competitors could catch him.
Favourites falter as Brazilians claim silver and medal
All-around and Team gold medallist Kohei Uchimura was one of those who attempted to better Whitlock’s score but he was unable to do so eventually finishing down in fifth with 15.241.
The two-time World Champion on this apparatus Kenzo Shirai was clumsy with a number of his landings and ended up in fourth, with the American pair of Jacob Dalton and Samuel Mikulak struggling under the pressure and eventually finishing sixth and eighth respectively.
In another surprise, it was Brazilian duo Diego Hypolito and Arthur Mariano who joined Whitlock on the medal podium to the delight of the home crowd who cheered throughout as potential medallists came and went.
Once the final gymnast, Mikulak, had made his second glaring error during his routine, the medals were all but set and with confirmation of his 14.333 announced, Britain’s historical performance was confirmed.
British duo live up to favourite tag to take 1-2 in Pommel
After the gymnastic arena had been cleared following Simone Biles' vault victory, Whitlock headed out as favourite after qualifying first, yet unlike they floor he would start later and be chasing the lead.
It was Alexander Naddour who set the pace early on, hitting a 15.700 which was considerably higher than his qualifying score of 15.366, and once all-around silver medallist Oleg Verniaiev had fallen from the horse following a promising start to score 12.400, Naddour's chances of a medal were high.
Smith was next up for Great Britain and hit a 15.833 to wrestle the lead from Naddour, with Harutyun Merdinyan's poor dismount leaving just two more gymnasts able to fight for the medals.
Coming in as the favourite, Whitlock assured his second gold of the day with an astonishing performance which saw him awarded 15.966, and once Nikolai Kusenkov's 15.233 was given, Britain had a two-time Olympic champion.
In what will be remembered as a famous day for British gymnastics, Whitlock and Smith made up for their disappointments in the team event to each hit back and claim memorable individual medals.
