Double gold winning medallist Max Whitlock and silver medallist Louis Smith believe there are no limits to what they can achieve in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Whitlock won two golds on what's being called 'Sensational Sunday', the first in the men's floor exercise competition before heading a British one-two on the men's pommel.
He then scored 15.966 on the pommel horse to double his gold tally, with fellow Brit Louis Smith taking silver, the same result he achieved at London 2012.
Reflecting on the historic achievement, both Whitlock and Smith agreed the Olympics had been an "incredible" experience.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Whitlock said: "It's hard to put into words how I'm feeling right now."
"I never expect medals and results when I go into competitions. I just go in and do my job.
"I do what I do in training. I just try to enjoy the experience."
Smith, who narrowly missed out on gold after Whitlock pushed his score of 15.833, down to second place, said he was delighted to have achieved silver.
"It's been an incredible competition so far," Smith said.
"It was just such a crazy competition, with so many amazing things happening in such a short space of time.
"I'm just over the moon. I'm so thankful to have this medal round my neck."
For 23-year-old Whitlock and 27-year-old Smith, however, this will not be their last Olympic Games as both have said they hope defend their achievements at the next Games in 2020.
"I'd like to go to Tokyo," Smith said, before turning to Whitlock and adding: "I definitely have some unfinished business."
Whitlock, responding to the same question, said: "I hope so. I'm not done yet."
