Francesco Friedrich
Francesco Friedrich has won Olympic gold medals in bobsled across the 2018 and 2022 Winter Games in both the two-man and four-man events, sweeping all four available gold medals across those two Olympics and establishing himself as the most dominant bobsled pilot of the modern era. His combination of world championship titles, numbering among the most in bobsled history, and his sustained dominance across both major event formats simultaneously has made Friedrich the individual most frequently cited as the greatest bobsled pilot currently competing, and arguably in the sport's history. Friedrich's technical precision and his sled's consistently fast start times, a critical factor in overall race performance given how much of a bobsled run's final time is determined in its opening seconds, reflect Germany's continued institutional and technological dominance of the sport across multiple generations of elite pilots. His combined four Olympic gold medals across two Games, along with his extensive World Championship title collection, place Friedrich among the most statistically dominant bobsled athletes in Olympic history, continuing Germany's sustained tradition of bobsled excellence established by earlier pilots like André Lange.
VS
Eugenio Monti
Eugenio Monti won Olympic gold medals in bobsled at the 1968 Grenoble Games at 40 years old, capping a career that had earlier produced Olympic silver and bronze medals along with multiple World Championship titles across nearly two decades at the top of the sport. Monti became famous for an act of sportsmanship at the 1964 Innsbruck Olympics, when he lent a spare bolt to a British competing team whose sled had broken during the competition, an act that likely cost Monti's own team the gold medal but that he later said he had no regrets about, viewing sportsmanship as more important than the medal itself. That gesture earned Monti the first-ever Pierre de Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship, an award created specifically to recognize exceptional acts of fair play in Olympic competition, and the story remains one of the most frequently cited examples of sportsmanship in Olympic history. His combined Olympic medals across four different Games, spanning nearly two decades of elite competition, along with his celebrated act of sportsmanship, have made Monti one of the most significant and beloved figures in the history of Olympic bobsled.
