the greatest lugist
georg hackl is the only luger to have won medals at five consecutive olympics in singles luge. at the 1988 calgary games, hackl finished second to fellow german jens müller. because hackl had trouble with his start, a start range was built for him at the königssee luge course near his home in berchtesgaden.
the increased practice paid off as hackl won the gold medal at the 1992 albertville olympics by defeating marcus prock of austria in the closest men's singles competition in 24 years. the repeat duel between hackl and prock at the 1994 olympics was even closer. hackl won again, but the contest was so close that if the four runs had been a single race, he would have won by less than 35 centimetres after 5.6 kilometres of sliding.
at the 1998 nagano games, hackl survived a protest against his new, aerodynamically advanced yellow booties to earn a third gold medal. in so doing, he became only the sixth person in the history of the winter olympics to win the same individual event three times.
at the salt lake city games in 2002, hackl barely edged prock once again, but this time both of these veterans were beaten by armin zöggeler of italy. still, hackl brought his olympics medal total to three golds and two silvers. although injured for part of the season and aged 40, in 2006 in turin, georg hackl participated in his 6th olympic games and placed 7th.

乔治•哈克尔是唯一在连续五届奥运会上的单人雪橇比赛中都夺得奖牌的雪橇运动员。1988年加拿大卡尔加里冬季奥运会上，哈克尔落后同胞穆勒夺得银牌。因为在比赛的起始阶段处理得不好，他在贝希特斯加登的家里附近建了一条起始跑道专门加以训练。付出终于获得回报，1992年法国阿尔贝维尔冬季奥运会上，哈克尔拿到了自己的第一枚金牌。在1994年的挪威利勒哈默尔，哈克尔成功卫冕。1998 年日本长野冬奥会上，他实现奥运金牌三连冠，也成为冬季奥运会历史上第六位在同一项目上实现三连冠的运动员。2002年的盐湖城冬奥会上，他遗憾的夺得银牌。尽管已经年届40，并饱受伤病困扰，但哈克尔仍然参加了2006年的都灵冬奥会，并获得第七。
