Denis Gargaud Chanut (born 22 July 1987) is a French slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level in C1 since 2004. Between 2009 and 2011 he also competed in the C2 category alongside Fabien Lefèvre. He won a gold medal in the C1 event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[2][3]
Gargaud Chanut also won nine medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with four golds (C1: 2011, C1 team: 2021, C2 team: 2010, 2011), three silvers (C1 team: 2009, C2: 2010, 2011) and two bronzes (C1 team: 2013, 2017). He won nine medals at the European Championships (three golds, two silvers and four bronzes).[1][4]
Gargaud Chanut finished the 2011 season as the World No. 1 in the C1 event.[5] He won the overall World Cup title in C1 in 2021.
Denis's aunt and uncle, Pierre and Cathy Chassigneux, were French champions in the mixed C2 category and run a canoe-kayak club on the Loire river in Orléans; Denis took up canoeing there aged 12. He later excelled internationally, but failed to qualify for the 2008 and 2012 Olympics due to a strong competition with Tony Estanguet, and considered retiring.[1]
Denis is the founder and head of the Duo Tonic and Mulebar company, which produces bars drinks and energy gels for athletes.[1]
