William DANDJINOU

About William Dandjinou

William Dandjinou is a Canadian short track speed skater. William was born in Sherbrooke to a father who had emigrated from Côte d'Ivoire. He started out in hockey at age three in Montreal and moved to short track a few years later. Left as the reserve for Beijing 2022, he came close to quitting. He bounced back to win his first world title, the 1000m in Rotterdam in 2024. In 2024–25 he became the first Canadian to win the overall Crystal Globe. He turned his bird-flapping victory celebration into a brand with its own logo.
