Denis Robert Vachon (born 26 August 1984 in Sudbury, Ontario) is a Canadian double-mini trampolinist, representing his nation at international competitions. He is part of the Canadian national team since 2000. He retired from trampolining in June 2008, returning in October 2010 when he realised he had lost weight due to losing his lean muscle. He retired again in 2013, returning to competition in early 2015.
He won the silver medal at the 2005 World Games in Duisburg, Germany. He won medals at world championships, including at the 2011, 2013 and 2015 Trampoline World Championships, where he won the silver medal in the double-mini team event.[1][2]
In May 2011 he pulled his adductor, groin, hip flexor and lower abdominal muscles, which took him out of training until mid-August 2011 and on modified training until March 2012.
He has served as the national team tumbling adviser for Gymnastics Canada and the trampoline and tumbling programme coordinator for the Burlington BG's club.
