Success Eduan powered over the line to give Great Britain gold in the women's 4x100m at the World Relay Championships.
Eduan proved too quick for the competition in a rapid final leg as a team including Nia Wedderburn-Goodison, Amy Hunt and Bianca Williams finished in 42.21 seconds.
A highly fancied Jamaica team, which included Shericka Jackson and former world and Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, finished third, behind runners-up Spain.
"I did not think too much of [the] others, I just knew that if I gave my all, it would come out all right," Eduan said.
"I have a mentality of a winner, I don't care if Shericka or Shelly-Ann, respect to them, are running. I am going to give my all and I'm going to pass them and I'm going to win. And we did that."
There were more medals for Great Britain elsewhere as Asha Philip, Kissiwaa Mensah, Jeriel Quainoo and Joe Ferguson won bronze in the Championships' first mixed 4x100m race.
They came in behind Jamaica, while Canada won gold with a time of 40.30 seconds.
The United States were record breakers in the mixed 4x400m race, winning gold with a championship-record time of 3:09.54.
