Lankantien Lamboni (born 31 May 1990) is a Togolese track and field athlete, specializing in the 400 metres hurdles.[3] He competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics and disqualified in the heats. He ran at the Kazan Universiade Games in the 400 metres hurdles and 110 m hurdles events and at the African Championships in the 400 m huurdles.
In June 2012, Lamboni qualified for the African Championships in the 400 m hurdles, where he finished 5th in his heat and did not advance.[3] Lamboni left Lomé for London in July 2012, though it was noted that Togo did not host an official Olympic departure ceremony as other countries did.[4][5] He was reportedly upset about the food and accommodations at the London Olympic Village, noting that African cuisine wasn't provided as advertised.[6]
Lamboni was disqualified from his Olympic 400 m hurdles heat for "improper clearance" and did not advance to the finals.[7]
Representing Université ISM Adonaï de Porto-Novo in Benin, Lamboni returned to international competition at the 2013 World University Games, where he qualified in both the 110 m hurdles and 400 m hurdles.[2] He finished 7th in his heat in both events and failed to advance to the finals.[8]
At the 2016 Tournoi de la Solidarité at the Stade Modibo Kéïta in Mali, Lamboni won a bronze medal in the 110 m hurdles.[9] He also won bronze in the 400 m hurdles at the same event in 2010, and in 2013 he set Togolese national records in both the 110 m and 400 m hurdles at a meeting in the same city.[8][3]
