Jodie Williams secured the 200 metres title - and her second medal of the week - while Sophie Hitchon won the hammer throwing event.
Williams ran 22.92 seconds in Tampere - which improved on the silver medal she took over 100m - with Hitchon launching the hammer 70.72m.
The 19-year-old sprinter from Hertfordshire admitted: "I'm so happy. I was disappointed after yesterday, not because I lost but because I didn't really feel like I did my best.
"So in the 200 I just wanted to come out and absolutely smash it. My legs were knackered on the start line but I just legged it on the bend and held on."
Williams's time was inside the 'A' qualifying standard for the senior World Championships in Russia next month.
Hitchon, 22, from Burnley, will definitely be on the plane to Moscow but she left it late only sealing gold on her final attempt.
She added: "I do it to myself all the time, always leaving it to the last throw.
"I don't know why I do it to myself, it's so stressful."
Elsewhere, Danny Talbot took silver in the men's 200m - clocking 20.46s - which was just 0.05s behind Polish winner Karol Zalewski.
Sebastian Rodger was another British silver medalist over the 400m hurdles in 49.19, with Thomas Farrell running second in the 5,000m.
