In 1957, Keleti immigrated to Israel, where she worked as a coach,[8][4][9] eventually returning to her native Hungary in 2015 at the age of 94.

[13] Keleti was considered a top prospect for the Hungarian team at the 1940 Olympics, but the escalation of World War II cancelled both the 1940 and the 1944 Games.

[1] Sárkány was a Hungarian gymnast of the 1930s who achieved national titles and took part in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Keleti survived the war by purchasing and using an identity paper of a Christian girl and working as a maid in a small village in the Hungarian countryside.

[6][7][11][12][16][14] In the winter of 1944–45, during the Siege of Budapest by Soviet forces near the end of World War II, Keleti would collect bodies of those who had died and place them in a mass grave each morning.

Keleti, along with 44 other athletes from the Hungarian delegation, decided to remain in Australia and received political asylum.

[6][7][11][12][21] In 1959, she married Hungarian physical education teacher Robert Biro whom she met in Israel, and they had two sons, Daniel and Rafael.

[22][1] Following her retirement from competition, Keleti worked as a physical education instructor at Tel Aviv University, and for 34 years at the Wingate Institute for Sports in Netanya.

[3][6][12] From 1990 onward, she gradually spent more time in her homeland of Hungary, ultimately settling in her native Budapest in 2015.
