What happened
Olympic gold-medal swimmer Klete Keller was arrested after being identified in video from the Capitol riot. At 6-foot-6, Keller is a five-time Olympic medalist and three-time Olympian. His height helped the FBI identify him after SwimSwam published a story confirming Keller was in footage shot by TownHall. Keller wore a jacket with a U.S. Olympic patch in the video.
Keller had been listed as a real estate agent at Hoff & Leigh in Colorado, which issued a statement the day before Keller's arrest that he had resigned.
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee responded to reports of Keller's presence at the Capitol before his arrest without naming him. CEO Sarah Hirshland said, "I strongly condemn the actions of the rioters at the U.S. Capitol. They do not represent the values of the United States of America or of Team USA."
