From Olympic medalist to Capitol rioter: The fall of Klete Keller Dave Sheinin and Rick Maese, The Washington Post Jan. 15, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail The flood of text messages, photos and videos swirling through the insular community of former Olympic swimmers left no doubt about the who, what and where: The towering figure in the videos and images, standing among the mob of rioters who had breached the U.S. Capitol and were pushing against police in the Rotunda, was unquestionably Klete Keller, the three-time Olympian and five-time medalist. If his 6-foot-6 frame and familiar face, covered by a beard but not a mask, didn't give away Keller's identity to those who knew him, one chilling, telltale detail certainly did: the Team USA jacket he was wearing, with the U.S. Olympic Team patch on the front left shoulder.
