Biography

Biathlete Josef Keck was a member of the West German relay team at the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Games that finished an unfortunate fourth, only 3.15 seconds behind East Germany. Keck ran the third leg and had to run three penalty loops, which knocked the West German team off the podium. In 1974 and 1975 Keck won the West German title in the 20 km individual event, and in 1974 won the 10 km sprint event. Keck later became a federal customs officer.
