Federica Brignone won the women's super-G at Cortina d'Ampezzo on Sunday to extend her overall World Cup lead as American comeback queen Lindsey Vonn crashed out.
Veteran Brignone, already the oldest woman to win a World Cup race at the age of 34, claimed the honours with a time of one minute and 21.64 seconds, 0.58sec ahead of reigning overall and discipline champion Lara Gut-Behrami.
Vonn, who returned to competition in December after a year out following knee surgery, lost control on a right-hander and slid off the course.
The 38-year-old, who has won 82 World Cup races, was able to ski down to the finish area and appeared unhurt.
Vonn's crash came a day after she finished 10th in the downhill at Cortina, her best result since returning to the circuit.
Brignone's victory was her third of the season and the 18th of her career, moving her 110 points clear of Gut-Behrami in the overall standings.
Vonn is 10th overall, 461 points behind Brignone.
