Lorraine Ugen and Tiffany Porter claimed bronze medals for Great Britain at the World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon.
Ugen outshone outdoor world silver medalist Shara Proctor in the long jump, while Porter made it a hat-trick of world indoor medals with a fine display in the 60m hurdles.
The medals helped rescue what had been a frustrating day until then, with a number of potential medal hopes seeing their chances come to an end.
Ugen's performance was a stunning one, as her fifth jump in the competition saw her soar to 6.93 metres to equal the British indoor record set last year by Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
"I'm ecstatic right now," Ugen said. "This is my first time getting on a podium, so it was fantastic to finally get some silverware.
"My first couple of jumps I was behind the board, so we were trying to find out if I wasn't running properly or whether I needed to move (my run-up). Eventually we decided to move it in, put one on the board and really put one out there."
Proctor described her performance as horrible as she could only finish eighth, with a best jump of 6.57m, and she blamed a hamstring injury suffered during her opening jump.
Only 10 minutes later Britain had a second medal when Porter made the most of a mistake by America's Kendra Harrison to fill third spot in the 60m hurdled behind another home athlete Nia Ali.
"I was listening to the long jump and I'm just so happy to follow Lorraine with a bronze," said Porter, who won silver in Istanbul in 2012 and bronze in Sopot two years later.
Among the British athletes with medal hopes, there was particular disappointment for sprinter James Dasaolu.
Dasaolu started this year by winning the British championship, after a nightmare 2015 season, but his chances of a place in the final were denied by a false start in his semi.
"Words can't describe how disappointed I am. It's extremely frustrating," he said before seeing American Trayvon Bromell claim gold in 6.47 seconds ahead of Jamaica's Asafa Powell.
"I could have gone at least sub 6.50 as I knew training wise I'm within my personal best of 6.47, so it's really disappointing. It's extremely frustrating. This was the bounce-back chance for me."
Morgan Lake finished seventh in the women's pentathlon, which featured a quite incredible finish.
Canada's Brianne Theisen-Eaton snatched gold in the closing 800m by making up a deficit of more than 13 seconds on Ukraine's Anastasiya Mokhnyuk to win by 34 points.
