Norwegian (Bokmal) term or phrase: Best når det gjelder
This is the title of a book about sports medicine. Trying to find a nice translation for it. My translation will not be official, I will be using it in brackets next to the original title.

superior where it counts


Explanation:
The same expression (with slightly different spelling) is used in Swedish (my native language) and it means "Best in decisive moments" or "Best when really needed". -- To tell the truth, i don't know if you have understood the phrase and are looking for an elegant translation, or if you needed my explanation. -- "Superior where it counts" comes quite close to the original, I think.
