Team GB made history by winning two Winter Olympic gold medals on one day for the first time as Matt Weston and Tabitha Stoecker won mixed team skeleton gold.
It came after Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale won snowboard cross mixed team gold earlier on Sunday.
Weston produced a stunning race to make more of his own history in Cortina as he became the first Briton to win two gold medals at a Winter Olympics having won individual gold just two days ago.
Stoecker had given Weston a tough task with her run of 1:00.77, 0.30 seconds off the pace of the Germans with the British pair, ranked top seeds, the last to run.
But Weston, who won Team GB's first medal at the Games, showed why he is the best skeleton racer in the world with a sublime 58.59secs run to clinch a second medal.
It is also the first time Great Britain have won three gold medals at a single Winter Olympics.
"Luckily I felt like I knew what I needed to do," Weston told BBC Sport.
"It's all a bit of a whirlwind, I took confidence from the individual event and in my head I had to be quite boring and just get the job done."
A second British team, Marcus Wyatt and Freya Tarbit, missed out on a medal by an agonising 0.01secs as the two German teams of Christopher Grotheer and Jacqueline Pfeifer and Axel Jungk and Susanne Kreher took silver and bronze, respectively.
The mixed event, making its debut at Milan-Cortina, sees the sliders hurtle down the track one after the other with a quick reaction time crucial as five red lights going out prompts them to set off.
Pushing off before the lights go out results in heavy penalties or even disqualification and that led to many of the sliders erring on the side of caution with some hesitant starts.
Janine Flock, who won gold on Saturday in the women's event, blew the Austrian team's chances when she incurred a one-second penalty for reacting too soon at the start, opening the door for both British teams to get on the podium.
Weston and Stoecker watched 14 other pairs go as the competition got increasingly exciting, building to a gripping finale.
But the two German teams were too good and the only way Wyatt and Tarbit could have got on the podium would have been if Weston and Stoecker had not.
