Is Gimli stronger than Legolas in Lord of the Rings?

This is really comparing Apples and Oranges, as dwarves and elves are so vastly different as to make comparing their strengths quite difficult. For one comparison, however, we may use Legolas' and Gimli's respective head counts from the Battle of Helm's Deep, in which Legolas killed 41 orcs, and Gimli 42. Thus we can fairly say that their skill in weaponry, and thus respective strength, is about equal. ---- I say Gimli is stronger because he's a fast Troll. Legolas isn't fast he's just an archer. ---- This question cannot be answered, like most "who is more x" questions about a sweeping topic without a way of measuring it. Corrections to comments above: Strength can not be measured in headcounts. Gimli is not a troll. Legolas is not 'only' an archer.
