A snowless nation's debutSourced
Togo's first Winter Olympians
trained elsewhere.
Togo made its Winter Olympics debut in 2014 with two women athletes. The tropical country has no snow, and neither competitor grew up or trained there. One learned to ski in Italy; the other spent most of her life in France.
A sporting first
began far beyond its borders.
