Swiss racer Lara Gut-Behrami completed her career hat-trick of World Cup super-G victories in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Saturday in a perfect warm-up for next month's world championships.
After super-G victories in Garmisch in both 2016 and 2017, the 29-year-old bagged a third win after clocking 1min 15.70sec down the Kandahar course.
It was also a third straight super-G win this season for Gut-Behrami after previous first places in Crans Montana and St Anton.
The victory consolidated the Swiss racer's place atop World Cup standings in the discipline, and saw her leafrog teammate Michelle Gisin into second in the overall standings behind Slovakian Petra Vlhova, who bagged 26 valuable points with a joint 10th-placed finish.
