Browne is all smiles on her arrival at the Games
Luger Dinah Browne is ready for a place in the history books whether she does well at the Salt Lake City Games or not. Browne, flying the flag for the US Virgin Islands, is about to become the first black woman to compete in the luge at the Winter Olympics. It is a dream come true for the 32-year-old, who was in college before she saw her first snowflake and only sat on her first sled three years ago. "I thought, 'Wow, I never planned this!'" explained Browne.

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.

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.
