(CNN)When Olympic swimmer Yui Ohashi won gold in the women's 200m individual medley on Wednesday, she pulled off both a personal and historic achievement.

With her victory, she became the first Japanese woman ever to clinch two gold medals in a single Games, after she also claimed the 400m individual medley the week before.

It made Tokyo 2020 the seventh straight Olympics where the winner of the women's 200m and 400m individual medley has been the same person.
