Flags are placed on the National Mall, with the U.S. Capitol behind, ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, in Washington.
Dave Salo, Jon Urbanchek and Mark Schubert cannot comprehended what happened to Klete Keller. They trained Keller until he finally won medals in the Sydney, Athens and Beijing Olympics swimming. They were also confused as to how Keller ended up being among the thousands of supporters of Donald Trump who broke into and occupied the Capitol Building in Washington, USA, on Jan. 6.
Schubert and Urbanchek telephoned Keller after the occupation of the US legislature. Urbanchek said Keller cried for 15 minutes in telephone conversation with him, a few days ago. "He did not expect things to be like that," said Urbanchek, as reported by The New York Times.
