  • France (also known as ) File:Flag of France.svg, Togo (also known as ) File:Flag of Togo.svg College, Institut de Formation aux Affaires et à la Gestion (IFAG) Benjamin Kudjow Thomas Boukpeti (born August 4 1981) is a Togolese whitewater kayaker. Born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France to a French mother, he holds dual Togolese-French citizenship and chose to represent Togo, the country of his father, in Olympic competition. He began kayaking at age 10. His elder brother Olivier is a member of the French flatwater canoeing team. Competing in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, he received fifteenth place in the first heat of the Men's K1 Kayak Single to become the first Togolese to reach an Olympic semi final, but only achieved eighteenth place in that race and did not advance. In January 2008, Boukpeti placed first at the African Championships. In the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, Boukpeti led after the semifinal, eventually claiming the Bronze medal in the K1 Kayak Single, the first ever Olympic medal for Togo. After clinching his medal Boukpeti snapped his paddle over his kayak in celebration. Following his Olympic win, Togolese Olympics fans expressed an interest in meeting him, as he is mostly unknown in Togo, only having visited that nation once, during his childhood. He recently completed management studies in Toulouse, France, where he lives.
