American Lindsey Vonn won Saturday's downhill race in Germany for the 80th World Cup win of her career six days before the Winter Olympics start.
The 33-year-old clocked one minute 12.84 seconds in Garmisch-Partenkirchen to beat World Cup downhill leader Sofia Goggia of Italy by 0.02 seconds.
Austria's Cornelia Huetter was third in a time of 1:12.97.
Vonn's victory moved her closer to Swede Ingemar Stenmark's all-time alpine record of 86 World Cup wins.
The race in Germany was supposed to be contested over two legs on a short course but was reduced to a single run because of a lack of training following bad weather.
Former Olympic champion Vonn, who missed the 2014 Games in Sochi with a knee injury, will race again in Sunday's downhill race.
