Kleen qualified as a crew member for the German squad in the [Star](/source/Sailing_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Star) class at the [2012 Summer Olympics](/source/2012_Summer_Olympics) in [London](/source/London) by placing second and receiving a berth from the [ISAF World Championships](/source/2011_ISAF_Sailing_World_Championships) in [Perth, Western Australia](/source/Perth%2C_Western_Australia).[3][5] Teaming with his partner [Robert Stanjek](/source/Robert_Stanjek) in the opening series, the German duo recorded a net score of 70 points throughout the entire race, but came up short for the medal podium with a satisfying sixth position against a fleet of sixteen boats.[6][7]
