Kyra Cheresse Constantine (born August 1, 1998)[4] is a Canadian sprinter specializing in the 400 metres. She won the silver medal in the women's 4 × 400 metres relay event at the 2019 Pan American Games held in Lima, Peru. She also competed in the women's 400 metres event.[4]
In 2014, she competed in the girls' 400 metres event at the Summer Youth Olympics held in Nanjing, China.[5]
She competed in the women's 400 metres event at the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan. As well, she was part of the Canadian team that finished in fourth place in the 4 × 400 metres relay.[6]
At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, she was the anchor leg of the Canada team that won gold in the women's 4 x 400 metres relay final. Ironically, she had actually finished second, behind England's Jessie Knight by 0.01 seconds in a photo-finish, but was awarded the gold due to an earlier lane infraction by England.
