Alessia Afi Dipol (born 1 August 1995)[1][2][3] is an Italian-Togolese alpine skier who competed for Togo at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics in the slalom and giant slalom.[4][5] Dipol also originally competed for India between 2011 and 2013,[6] but she later switched to compete for Togo even though she has no familial connections to the country,[2] so she could qualify to compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[2] She also chose to represent the country because her father owns a clothing factory in Togo.[7]
