Greg Rutherford today completed the full set of major titles by landing long jump gold at the World Championships in Beijing.
The 28-year-old produced his furthest jump of the year when he needed it most, soaring out to 8.41 metres to add the world crown to his Olympic, European and Commonwealth successes.
The success took Great Britain's medal tally to three - all gold.
The team rebel, who has caused controversy with his extraordinary criticism of UK Athletics, followed in the footsteps of his fellow 'Super Saturday' gold medallists from London 2012, Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis-Hill, by triumphing at the Bird's Nest stadium.
Rutherford received no real challenge in a competition littered with fouls, taking the lead from round two and responding to his winning fourth-round attempt by punching the air and roaring with delight. He knew he had done enough.
Silver went to Australia's Fabrice Lapierre with 8.24m and bronze to China's Jianan Wang with 8.18m.
Victory for the Briton was the perfect response to the critics who branded his Olympic win a fluke. Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth gold, and a British record, all in the space of three years is an achievement hard to put down.
And on top of that he is also in the running for the Diamond League crown.
Rutherford has attracted most headlines for his scathing attack on UKA, saying athletes were scared to speak out against the governing body and that he was prepared to become an "outcast" to highlight their problems and concerns.
Rutherford's comments have prompted a backlash, with Michael Johnson telling the BBC he "makes a lot of inflammatory comments but there isn't a lot of explanation".
Johnson told the Briton to "do more jumping - less talking".
The Milton Keynes athlete certainly seemed focused on the task at hand on Tuesday.
Rutherford produced a huge foul on his first attempt but readjusted his run-up and got it right in round two, flying out to 8.29m and into the lead.
Jeff Henderson, his big rival for gold, produced two fouls in his first three jumps, with a best of just 7.95m, and crashed out of the competition after only three jumps. The American was inconsolable.
The gold was Rutherford's for the taking.

He seemed to be one of the few getting his run-up right - at least most of the time - and when he leapt out to 8.41m he knew he had one hand on the title. And so it proved.
The outspoken father of one has also criticised the absence of the Union Jack on the British vest for the championships and he made a show of pointing to it when he was handed the flag for his lap of honour.
