Maybe not but if I remember correctly they left off with Legolas far ahead, and if you were to ask a movie fan who had not read the books who they thought won the contest then I would be willing to bet that they would say Legolas. Gimli was portrayed as the jealous guy who couldn't keep up and it drove me crazy. I think that Gimli's character was treated even less fairly than Faramir or Elrond.
