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]
