Gu.
Jakob has great genes, but Gu is a sperm donor baby, can't compete with that.
That'a why she has 2 gold medals and 1 bronze medal, jakob only has 1 gold medal

I can't imagine Jakob being good at any sport but distance running but Gu has a lot of transferable skills and she's just way cooler.

Depends what your criteria is.
More golds and total medals in a single olympic cycle: Eileen Gu
danger element: Eileen Gu
global competition: Jakob Ingebrigsten. Everybody can afford to do a running sport in every country. Not everybody has the money or climate to be a skiier.

I don’t know how to do the math, but there are likely to be a trillion comparisons that can be made between athletes from different sports. You do deserve bonus points for choosing a bizarre one.

If skiing had the same number of competitors as running globally, would Gu still be a rock star? Hell no. It's ultimately a niche sport. It's kind of like being great at ultrarunning - no exactly hard to do when there are maybe 5-10 other serious players in the game.

yeah, representing your own country's repressive, communist, slavery-loving arch-nemesis isn't worthy of ridicule or anything

Eileen won 2 gold and a silver in the last winter Olympics. In the three events she took part in, the US won a total of ZERO medals.

Gu was a runner. Nothing earth-shattering, but decent times (5:31, 11:55). Only did track in 9th, 10th grade.
