    But people know better, and no luge observer is picking against the German superstar, who has twice been voted the most popular athlete in his country, ahead of Michael Schumacher both times.
    "The only way to stop him is to steal his helmet," said Chris Hoeger, a 17-year-old who will compete for the Venezuelan luge team in the competition Sunday and Monday at Utah Olympic Park.
    Looking at the German star you could easily be deceived into thinking Hackl is the underdog.
    At 5-foot-8 inches and 180 pounds, he looks slightly pudgy in his Lycra luge suit. Before he grew his new goatee he resembled Peter Sellers playing the bumbling detective Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series.
    The looks, however, are deceiving. The German is bordering on Olympic history. If he wins gold, like everyone expects, he will become the first Winter Olympian to win four consecutive individual golds in the same event. If the German wins a medal of any color he becomes the first winter athlete to medal in five consecutive Games. Hackl's list of hardware is as long as his legend: silver at Calgary in 1998, gold at Albertville in 1992, gold at Lillehammer in 1994 and gold at Nagano in 1998.

    Luge
    The luge is a type of small sled on which one or two persons, lying face up, slide feet first down snowy hillsides or down steeply banked, curving, iced chutes similar to those used in bobsledding. Shifting weight, pulling straps attached to the runners, or using the feet accomplishes steering.

    Competition
    The first international race took place in 1883 with 21 competitors from seven nations, including the United States. The race was organized by hotels in the Swiss spa of Davos and took place over the 4-kilometer road from St. Wolfgang to Klosters. With the development of a more flexible sled came the "kunstbahn," or artificial track, which provided luge enthusiasts with a more challenging course. The first World Championships in the sport were held in 1955 in Oslo, Norway, with 52 competitors from eight nations. Two years later the lugers broke away from the FIBT, the bobsled and toboggan federation, to form their own Federation Internationale de Luge de Course (FIL). In 1961 at the International Olympic Committee meetings in Athens, three luge events men's singles, doubles and women's singles were added to the 1964 Olympic program.
