Jan Sekpona (born June 20, 1987 in Lomé) is a retired Togolese middle-distance runner, who specialized in the 800 metres.[1] Sekpona qualified for the Togolese squad in the men's 800 metres at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by attaining an entry time and a personal best of 1:52.40. Running against seven other athletes in heat three, Sekpona crossed the finish line by nearly ten minutes behind leader Wilson Kipketer of Denmark with an eighth-place time in 1:54.25. Sekpona failed to advance into the semifinals as he placed farther from two automatic slots for the next round and ranked no. 70 overall in the prelims.[2] Sekpona was also appointed as the Togolese flag bearer by the National Olympic Committee (French: Comité National Olympique Togolais) in the opening ceremony.[3]
