Finland's Wilma Murto and Poland's Ewa Swoboda booked their place in track and field history at the weekend.
In Zweibrucken in Germany on Sunday, pole vaulter Murto, 17, twice broke the world junior record with clearances of 4.65m and 4.71m, while 24 hours earlier in Luxembourg, Swoboda, 18, smashed the European junior 60m mark with a stunning 7.13, which is the second quickest in the world this year, no matter the age.
Murto has been threatening to make such an impact this winter with a series of fine vaults and while she had attempted but failed at the world record before, this was so much her moment.
It was a magnificent display from Murto who now holds the overall record after eclipsing the best indoor mark of 4.63m by Sweden's Angelica Bengtsson from 2011 and the outdoor 4.64m held by New Zealand's Eliza McCartney only since December.
And there could be more to come.
She then missed out twice at 4.77m but felt they were her better efforts.
'I had prepared for 4.65m but 4.71m was a surprise,' said Murto, who holds the overall Finnish record. 'The attempt at 4.77m was so good that it's probably possible when jumping flows.'
It shows how determined Murto is as she has come back from failing to register a height in the final at last summer's European Athletics Junior Championships in Eskilstuna to now achieving this success.
It was all about the gradual build-up on Sunday, as she began with 4.25m, then cleared 4.35m and 4.45m all at the first go before equalling her national record of 4.55m.
Then, with her opening attempt, she went over at 4.65m.
The bar was raised to 4.71m which she cleared at the second go before her two bids at 4.77m.
But what a day it was for records because in second, Nicole Buchler broke her Swiss mark of 4.63m with 4.65m.
While Murto made no impact in Eskilstuna, Swoboda did, winning the 100m in 11.52 and taking silver in the 4x100m relay.
And she is in electric form again as she proved with her 7.13m, to break a Polish senior record that had stood for 30 years.
Swoboda's time replaces the 7.18m from Ewa Pisiewicz in 1986 and came with victory at this international meeting where she had run 7.21 in the heats.
Last year in Prague, when Swoboda was eighth in the 60m final at the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she broke the European junior record with 7.20m, but now she has taken herself into a new category of sprinting.
Trinidad's Michelle-Lee Ahye tops the senior world rankings with her 7.12 from the weekend but what a prospect Swoboda has become.
