Dominik Crête (born July 7, 1991) is a Canadian kayaker who competes primarily in the sprint distances. Crête is the reigning Pan American Games champion in the K-1 200 m distance.[2] He started kayaking at the age of 11 but quit to focus on football. A meeting with Olympian Richard Dober Jr. in 2015 convinced him to return to the sport of kayaking.[1] Crête studied police techniques at CEGEP de Trois-Rivières and currently works as a special constable for Hydro-Quebec.[1]
