Greg Rutherford has declared his display at the World Athletics Championships as his "best ever performance".
The 28-year-old has struggled at the event in the past, but he stormed to the gold medal in Beijing this afternoon with a jump of 8.41m - the second-furthest of his career.
The medal means that Rutherford becomes just the fifth British athlete to hold the Olympic, world, European and Commonwealth titles at the same time.
"I'm a bit lost for words. What an incredible night. It's been unreal. My family and friends helped me build a long jump pit in the garden. It's unbelievable. This was my best ever performance," Rutherford told BBC Sport after his historic display.
The 2012 Olympic champion has been questioned for the length of his winning jumps in the past, but he hit back at those critics having set a new stadium record at the Bird's Nest.
"The stresses this year I can't even express to you. I can't wait to get home and see my family. I'm hoping 8.41m was acceptable for people. Maybe I'm not too bad a long jumper," he added.
Rutherford joins Daley Thompson, Sally Gunnell, Linford Christie and Jonathan Edwards in holding athletics' four major titles at the same time.
