Fears that Team GB might come away from these Winter Olympics without a gold medal were put to rest on Sunday morning as the women's curling team achieved their Beijing dreams.
Skip Eve Muirhead and her team dominated the final against Japan at the National Aquatics Centre on the very final morning of the Games.
Their 10-3 victory came 20 years on from Rhona Martin 's 'stone of destiny' success in Salt Lake City, though the game was nowhere near as tense this time around.
Instead, a GB team which had struggled to qualify for the Olympics at all were surgically precise in their play, taking control of the match early on and dominating throughout.
The team, comprising of Muirhead, Vicky Wright, Jennifer Dodds, Hailey Duff and alternate Milli Smith, never looked back after scoring two points in the opening end.
Muirhead did not need to produce something special at the death like Martin did 20 years earlier, but still had her defining moment with an effectively match-winning throw to decide the seventh.
After Wright had lined up the shot, the skip nailed a shot which saw one British stone collide with another, sending the sole Japanese stone out of the scoring zone to score four and give Team GB an 8-2 lead.
Two ends later, and the victory was confirmed and Team GB coach David Murdoch hailed their "perfect" display.
“It was a perfect performance,” he said. “The composure and the calmness was evident and you could just see all the girls just so relaxed and I think that was really the key to success.
"We know how good they are how hard they’ve trained, but to see the composure they had in the final was incredible.”
"It's a dream come true," Muirhead told BBC Sport after securing the gold medal to go with the bronze one she won in Sochi eight years ago.
"That was my third semi-final, and the two I lost were hard but I bounced back and here we are. We are Olympic champions. It's such a special moment."
While the victory in the final was a comfortable one, the rest of the tournament had been a story of resilience for the women's team.
A record of five wins and four defeats in the round robin section saw them sneak into the knockout stages, where they would face Sweden in a tense semi-final.
They were pushed all the way by the Scandinavians, who looked to snatch the initiative with a superb 10th-end result to send the match into overtime, but the Brits did just enough.
The women's gold medal comes on top of the men's silver, won by Bruce Mouat's team on Saturday, which make up the total of two medals won by Team GB in these Winter Olympics.
