Piotr Kuleta (born 27 June 1989 in Chrzanów) is a Polish sprint canoeist. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the Men's C-1 200 metres and the men's C-1 1000 m.[1] He did not originally qualify for the Olympics, but was called up when Pawel Baraszkiewicz was injured.[2]
His uncle Tomasz Kuleta originally encouraged him to try canoeing, and then Adam Smyk, a neighbour who was also a canoe coach, encouraged him to join a canoeing club.
In 2015, he was named athlete of the year for the Opolszczyzna region. In that year, he won a bronze medal in the C-2 1000 m at the World Championships alongside Marcin Grzybowski.[3] In 2017, he was part of the Polish men's C-4 1000 m team that won the silver medal at the World Championships with Wiktor Glazunow, Tomasz Barniak and Marcin Grzybowski.[4] That year, the team also won the European title in the event.[5]
