BIOGRAPHY

A towering presence on the ice, William Dandjinou has been a member of the Canadian short track national team since 2019.

Dandjinou is a five-time medalist from the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, brining home three gold and two silvers as a member of Team Quebec. He has also represented Canada at the World Junior Championships in both 2019 and 2020, cracking the top-20 in individual distances three different times.

Dandjinou made his World Cup debut during the 2019-2020 season, taking part in three events and earning a career-best fifth-place finish with the mixed gender relay team in Salt Lake City. He made his World Championship debut the following season, where he was part of the men’s relay team that earned a fifth-place result.
