American Lindsey Vonn has made up for a disappointing downhill performance by powering to a stunning victory in Sunday's super-G in St Moritz.
It was Vonn's 64th World Cup victory, the 30-year-old having drawn level with, and then passed, the previous all-time record of 62 set by Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proll last weekend in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Vonn laid down a near-perfect descent of the upper and middle sections, with just two minor mistakes on the tricky, tight bottom third.
"It was definitely a difficult course," she said.
"There was a lot of terrain and tricky parts.
"After a bad day comes a good day. Yesterday I risked a lot and it didn't pay off. Today I risked a lot and it did pay off.
"I always like to ski at the limit - it's what's won me a lot of races and what's made me crash and go into the nets. That's the way I ski."
Austria's Olympic champion in the discipline, Anna Fenninger, was the only racer to get within one second of the American, in second at 0.24sec.
A second Austrian, Nicole Hosp, finished third, a whopping 1.10sec adrift, while only six other racers got within two seconds of Vonn.
