Bryony Pitman led Great Britain to an incredible haul of three Archery World Cup medals in Antalya, her nation’s best-ever performance on the top-level circuit.
Britain last won a World Cup title in 2008 and had never previously won more than one at a single event.
Enter Tokyo Olympian Pitman and an inexperienced team who returned with two golds and a silver from the opening leg of the World Cup tour in Turkey.
She said: "I feel on top of the world right now. One medal would’ve been cool but three is just crazy.”
“Today I just wanted to go out there, have fun and get on three podiums. I didn’t shoot my best in the teams but I found the ten a lot more in the individuals.
“I’ve never been so full of adrenaline and it was the biggest test of my mental process.
“Most of the time it worked but I’ve definitely got some more to learn."
Pitman, who finished ninth individually on Olympic debut in Tokyo, held her nerve to beat Laura van der Winkel in a nail-biting single arrow shoot-off and take gold.
Both Pitman and her Dutch rival scored eight in the tiebreaker but the 25-year-old’s arrow was closer to X and that sealed victory.

Pitman's victory was Britain's first individual World Cup medal since 2012.
Earlier in the day, the Brighton native joined forces with Jaspreet Sagoo and teenager Penny Healey for another golden moment.
The trio beat Ukraine, Australia and Chinese Taipei, whose line-up featured Olympian Lei Chien-ying, en route to the final where they claimed a dominant 5-1 win over Germany.
With five-time Olympian Naomi Folkard stepping away from the team, a new generation is emerging.
17-year-old Healey stunned the archery world to win the Indoor World Series title in Las Vegas in February and Sagoo is making her first steps on the international stage.
In the mixed team event, which made its Olympic debut last summer, Britain fell narrowly short of a third gold medal in the mixed team as Pitman and Alex Wise emerged with a silver.
Wise first tried archery on holiday in Turkey and was part of the team that secured World Cup bronze in Antalya in 2018.
The duo guaranteed a medal by beating USA in a shoot-off but the tiebreaker went against them in the gold medal final against India, going down 5-4.
Archery GB performance director Tom Duggan said: “It’s been a fantastic week for the athletes.
“To convert three out of four of the medals to gold and not settle for silver is a great platform for the future.
Meanwhile Britain’s track cyclists returned to home boards at the UCI Track Nations Cup in Glasgow.
The vast majority of the team who helped Team GB bring back seven medals from the Tokyo velodrome were in action on the first of three stops on the Nations Cup tour.
There was Omnium gold for Ollie Wood on the final day of racing after a faultless ride to top step on the podium.
Wood won the opening scratch race and then took third in the tempo race, gaining a lap on the field in the concluding points race to take victory.
"It’s pretty good to win gold," said Wood. "You don’t get many chances to race in front of a home crowd so it’s nice to win gold anyway, and even nicer in front of a home crowd."
Clever riding, insane power, great performance.

Olympic silver medallist Josie Knight claimed bronze in the individual pursuit, her first major individual medal.
On opening night, Knight took team pursuit silver alongside Laura Kenny, Katie Archibald and Megan Barker. They came second to Germany - just as they did at the Games.
Archibald and Kenny were denied individual honours by crashes as the Scot went down heavily in the omnium points race and Kenny withdrew from Sunday’s Madison.
Charlie Tanfield, Oliver Wood, Ethan Vernon and Rhys Britton matched their female counterparts with silver in the men’s team pursuit.
Elsewhere Matt Hudson-Smith, Rio Olympic finalist in the 400m, continued a rousing return to form with an early-season 44.61 in Baton Rouge.
The second-fastest time of his career, Hudson-Smith was clocked a quarter of a second short of the 25-year-old British record owned by Iwan Thomas.
Two of Team GB's Tokyo heroes were recognised at the 2022 Laureus Sports Awards, held in Seville, Spain.
Olympic champion Bethany Shriever was named Laureus World Action Sportsperson of the Year Award.
And Sky Brown, 13, was awarded the Laureus World Comeback of the Year Award after recovering from a serious training accident to win bronze in Tokyo.
