It was a double helping of silver in the swimming pool as Ben Proud and Duncan Scott stormed onto the medal podium just minutes apart in Paris.
The British duo wrapped up their individual programmes with respective 50m freestyle and 200m individual medley silver at their third Olympic Games.
Finishing a few hundredths off the podium at Rio and Tokyo, splash and dash specialist Proud finally became an Olympic medallist, taking silver just 0.05 seconds behind gold medallist Cameron McEvoy of Australia and ahead of French fan favourite Florent Manadou.
And after winning every medal in the books, apart from one on the Olympic stage, the 29-year-old could only be grateful to his fellow medallists for the being part of the podium with him.
"It was fun," he said. "Honestly, the highlight for me was sharing the podium with Florent Manadou.
"This is the fourth time he's made the podium, he's completed the set, so when I saw his name up there I just thought Jesus Christ that's amazing. And to be second behind Cam, that's very fitting.
"I would have liked to have got my hand on the wall quicker, maybe I'll look back at the footage and kick myself a little bit because I could have been faster but it was a fantastic swim from myself and I'm super happy to have got a medal.
"It's not gold but hey ho. I'm super happy."
Just minutes later and British eyes were back on the pool for Scott.
The 27-year-old won silver in the event at Tokyo 2020 and with just one more medal, would overtake Sir Chris Hoy as the most decorated Scottish Olympian of all time.
And that he did. With a time of 1:55.31, just 0.03 off his own British record, Scott catapulted himself into history.
He touched the wall for silver behind French star Leon Marchand who demolished the Olympic record for his fourth individual gold of the Games, whilst former Olympic champion Shun Wang of China took bronze.

And with back-to-back Olympic silvers in the event, Scott was thrilled to cement his name on the event and prove that he can consistently back up performance.
"I had to put myself into a good position because I could not just rely on my quality freestyle," he said, "I had to challenge myself.
“It is the second quickest I have ever gone and almost as quick as I went last time, so to be at my best again when it matters, I am really happy with that.
“Tokyo was such a big PB. That is more relief, it re-affirms I am that good. You can do a one-off swim and not be sure how you have done it.
"So to put it together again is really nice. I am just happy to be down there and if I am behind him, it is one person that can beat me.”
Elsewhere, Katie Shanahan finished fifth in the women's 200m backstroke with Honey Osrin in seventh, as Abbie Wood qualified for the final of the women's 200m individual medley with the fourth fastest time.
