Well, it's a commute, not an olympic sport. If it were different, it would be different.

So let's assume it was an Olympic sport, then, what are the rules?

Seems to me, anyone who commutes from home to work qualifies. You live where you live, you work where you work, you are who you are. I don't see how extra points can be given for a longer or more difficult commute.

If ever you decide not to go to work because conditions seem unappealing, you are disqualified (I am thus disqualified).

If biking is impossible, I would suggest skiing, skating, or walking, with or without snowshoes, to be acceptable alternatives, but to drive your car, or have a family member take you to work, or Uber, etc, would disqualify you.

I'd think that would identify the finalists. Beyond that, in not sure.
