Brock Whiston denied Good Britain team-mate Alice Tai a seventh gold medal at the World Para-swimming Championships.
Tai, who has swept all before her this week, explained the medley as a”bonus occasion” on her program and was fourth.
Whiston, in her first key championship, defeat American Jessica Long into instant.
The world record of the American was taken by her.
There were silvers on the penultimate day of activity for Reece Dunn Ellie Robinson along with Bethany Firth.
It means GB have 39 medals, including 15 golds.
Whiston, 22, has hemiplegia, which induces weakness down the side of her body and has been a swimmer at contest before she realised she was eligible for Para-swimming.
“When I was around 15 I was beginning to find things difficult in training 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 those English Para-swimming team asked me if I had ever wondered para-swimming, I had not.
“I watched Ellie Simmonds’s 400m freestyle race in London 2012 and to be here in her footsteps is just unbelievable.”
Whiston’s strength is her breaststroke and despite turning 10 seconds behind Tai into the breaststroke leg, so it took her less than 25m to reevaluate her team-mate and have a guide that she never looked like losing.
She completed in two moments 35.30 seconds, beating Long’s old mark, set in the US Paralympic trials in 2012 from 0.7secs.
“To have raced Jess and Alice, two of the greatest swimmers in this class, and come off with a gold is so still amazing,” she added.
“I don’t believe it has sunk . Jess’s world list was amazing and to now take this, I can not ask for more in my very first significant tournament”
Whiston, who was also part of the victorious medley relay on Friday, goes again on Sunday at the breaststroke while Tai stated that she was happy with her screen.
“I know Brock has got an insanely powerful breaststroke so my coach’s game plan was’Move out difficult and should you die, at least die trying!’ And that’s just what occurred,” she said.
“Halfway down the breaststroke legI couldn’t feel my body and when I switched on the freestyle I thought’oh dear’.
“However, I have not trained for the medley – I don’t train breaststroke whatsoever and fourth is a pretty good outcome.”
Paralympic champion 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 this week.
The 18-year-old out of Northampton has vowed to use the defeat to spur her on.
“I’m really, really frustrated, not with coming moment, but my period was not as near my PB since I would like it to be,” she said after finishing 35.61secs with Jiang clocking 34.86.
“I knew it’d be really difficult since the Chinese girl has done very well here but I’ll go out and use it as motivation.
“She is not too much front of me and hopefully I can use it in order to question myself longer in training. Having that threat is fine but now I wish to put myself at the very ideal place for Tokyo so when we stand around the block nobody knows who’ll win.”
