Laurence ("Larry") J. Cain, CM (born January 9, 1963) is a Canadian sprint canoeist, having begun his career in 1974 at the Oakville Racing Canoe Club, now the Burloak Canoe Club, in Oakville, Ontario.[1]
Born in Toronto, Ontario, he was the first Canadian canoeist since Frank Amyot to win an Olympic gold medal in canoeing. He attended Oakville Trafalgar High School.
In 1984, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada.[2] In 1997, he was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. A trail in Oakville has been named in his honour running along the town's waterfront where Cain trained.[3]
Cain competed in three Summer Olympics, winning a gold medal in the C-1 500 m,[4] and a silver medal in the C1 1000 m[4] events. He also won a silver medal in the C-1 1000 m event at the 1989 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Plovdiv.[5]
