Great Britain's new golden couple Neil and Lora Fachie are more than happy to be dubbed the 'Kennys of the Paralympics' after each tasted glory on a dream day of track cycling at Tokyo 2020.
The Fachies, who are both visually impaired, have each won previous Paralympic titles, they never before have they come at the same Games, let alone on the same day.
In the men's B 1000m time trial Neil, 37, powered home with pilot Matt Rotherham in 58.038 seconds - pushing compatriot James Ball and his pilot Lewis Stewart into silver. It meant a fourth Paralympic medal for the Aberdeen man following a gold and silver at London 2012 and another second-placed finish at Rio 2016.
Lora, 32, then completed the fairytale in the women's B 3000m individual pursuit, as she and partner Corrine Hall clocked 3:19.560 in a head-to-head final with Ireland's Katie-George Dunlevy, while ParalympicsGB debutant Sophie Unwin and pilot Jenny Holl won bronze.
Inevitably, their success triggered instant comparisons to Jason and Laura Kenny, who have won 12 Olympic Golds combined.
"The Kennys are an incredible family so to be even in the same sentence as them is amazing," said Neil.
"Lora and I have had mixed success over the years: I won in London, she lost out due to a mechanical; she won gold in Rio and I failed there.
"We thought the moment might not actually happen when we both won gold.
"The fact that she just obliterated the world record, and I have as well - nobody even dreams of this, it's way beyond anything you can imagine.
"I knew how hard Lora works, she's been fighting for this, and she deserves every bit of it."
Lora, who also picked up a bronze in Rio, said: "It is special to have done it alongside Neil.
"I've never successfully defended a title before so I'm just delighted and it's been an incredible day.
"For me, it's been a childhood dream to be a world record holder and I now am."
The story is even more poignant given that in 2017, Neil feared his career may be over after losing two world titles, while Lora put plans to start a family on hold following the rescheduling of the current Games.
However, during the coronavirus pandemic the pair trained together and rediscovered their shared passion for sport.
Their successes capped a memorable day for ParalympicsGB, leaving them top of the track table with 14 medals, including six golds.
