Keith Frostad wasn't out publicly in the media around the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but he was known to be gay in the elite swimming world. When he talked about all of this with Zachary Draves of Nuts &amp; Bolts Sports, he shared publicly for the first time intimate details of being harassed repeatedly by male swimmers on Team USA and at the University of Texas. He also found strength in the support he received from some swimmers, including many on the women's teams. And his attempt to reach the 1996 Olympics gave him a heart-warming story of support that remains with him to this day. He shares with us details of his experiences, including apparent pressure from representatives of the US Olympic Committee to stay quiet about being gay at the Olympics.Learn more about your ad choices.
