At both of her Olympics, she competed in the 50 metre freestyle. She has also competed in two World Championships, a World Short Course Championship and an African Games.
Kpossi's debut at an international swimming competition was at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships, where she competed in both the 50 metre butterfly and 50 metre freestyle. In the 50 metre butterfly event, she finished last in her heat in a time of 55.17 seconds, around 25 seconds slower than the heat winner. Overall, her time was the slowest out of 51 athletes.

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, Kpossi competed in the 50 metre freestyle. By doing so at the age of 13 years and 191 days, she became the youngest ever Togolese Olympian. She was also the youngest competitor from any country at the 2012 Games. In her competition, she swam a time 37.55 seconds to finish second in her three-swimmer heat. Her time was the second slowest overall, with only Masempe Theko (Lesotho) slower. Kpossi did not qualify for the semi-finals, and, therefore, her competition was over.
