E-mail a copy of this story Epic Battle: Zoeggeler bests Hackl in luge event By Brady Snyder Deseret News Olympic specialist Italy's Armin Zoeggeler celebrates his gold in the men's luge on the shoulders with Georg Hackl, Germany, and Markus Prock, Austria. Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News Instead, the German settled for silver as he was crushed by Italian superstar Armin Zoeggeler, all under the watchful eye of International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge, on hand to see if Hackl would make history. While Hackl settled for silver, Rogge and the 14,000 other spectators were treated to a heavyweight battle unseen in previous Olympic competition as the three greatest sliders of the past 15 years gathered for one final slugfest. Zoeggeler, Hackl and Austria's Markus Prock finished one-two-three as the luge legends melted the ice, besting the track record five times. In the final heat of the four-run competition, which spanned two days, Prock went third to last. Next came Hackl, who cut through the chilly air, toes pointed and stretched to the finish. As the German crossed the line he was .013 seconds faster than Prock.
