Great Britain won the Olympic team eventing title for the first time in 49 years to clinch an 11th gold in Tokyo, with silver medals in the individual event and weightlifting following on Monday.
Emily Campbell then became the first British woman to win an Olympic weightlifting medal when she took silver in the +87kg category.
The 27-year-old finished with a total combined weight of 283kg to place behind China’s Li Wenwen, who made 320kg, and win Team GB’s 35th medal of the Games.
Transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard failed to record a successful lift as she made history by competing in the event.
Laura Kenny’s bid to become Britain’s most decorated female Olympian also got off to a promising start in the women’s cycling team pursuit.
A quartet of Kenny, Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker and Josie Knight qualified second fastest, behind only Germany’s new world-record pace.
Britain were hoping to compete for podium places in the sailing, but a lack of wind in Enoshima has seen both the women’s 49er FX and men’s 49er races postponed until Tuesday.
GB women’s hockey made it into the semi-finals with a shootout win over Spain, with goalkeeper Maddie Hinch the hero once again.
Gold medal ‘a dream come true’
It was an impressive performance from the GB eventing team to win gold for the first time since 1972 and the riders are poised for more medals on day 10.
The Olympic debutants opened a lead of 17.9 penalties after faultless rounds in Sunday’s cross-country phase and retained top spot in Monday’s final stage.
Australia finished second while France took the bronze medal.
“Unreal, it still has not sunk in,” Townend told BBC One. “There will be a big celebration and I don’t think it’ll be with a cup of tea and a biscuit.”
It capped a remarkable comeback for team-mate Collett, who was placed in an induced coma for six days after a heavy fall in 2013.
“Just to be here was more than a dream come true,” she said.
“To be standing here, with a gold medal, I look back where I was eight years ago… I knew I was lucky to be alive yet alone do the job I love.
“I am super grateful to be on a team with these two guys. It has been an unbelievable week and roll on the celebrations.”
McEwen then held his nerve in the final round of jumping to claim a silver in the individual event, with Townend edged out of the medal places in fourth and Collett finishing ninth.
‘Speechless’ Campbell wins historic silver
Weightlifter Campbell had won European gold earlier this year but was left “speechless” in adding an Olympic silver to her medal collection.
Making her Olympic debut in Tokyo, the 27-year-old was fourth after the snatch but moved on to the podium with successive clean and jerk lifts of 156kg and 161kg.
China’s gold medallist Li set a new Olympic record with her 320kg total, while Campbell’s total is a new British and Commonwealth record.
She is the first Briton to win an Olympic weightlifting medal since 1984.
“I am speechless, for the first time ever,” Campbell told BBC Sport.
“You know you can get in shape coming into these things, you know you want to perform your best, but to actually put it out on the stage, I’m really thrilled.”
She added: “You can achieve anything you want to achieve. I picked up a barbell five years ago for the first time and now I am an Olympic silver medallist.”
Kenny chases gold
As the final week of the Olympics rolls in it brings the start of the track cycling at the Izu Velodrome.
Kenny, looking to win gold for a third successive Games, was part of the team pursuit quartet who set the world record in Rio five years ago.
That mark remained until earlier on Monday when the German team set a blistering new world-leading target of 4:07.307.
The GB four began their team pursuit defence in 4:09.022, which would have broken their previous record and was enough for second in qualifying.
It means they will race against the USA in the first round on Tuesday.
Kenny already has four gold medals and could overtake Charlotte Dujardin, who has six medals, as Britain’s most decorated female Olympian at this Games.
The 29-year-old is also set to compete in the omnium and madison this week.
The men were fourth fastest in their team pursuit qualifying round, with Ed Clancy, Ollie Wood, Ethan Hayter and Ethan Vernon clocking GB’s best-ever time of 3:47.507.
Britain – Olympic champions at the last three Games – will take on world record holders Denmark for a shot at the gold medal.
