These were the first three books that came to mind for this prompt. Adam Rippon was especially funny, which is no surprise based on his Olympics interviews.

While some parts of this memoir were repetitive, I was truly entertained and charmed by Adam Rippon. He came across as genuine & truly appreciative of his successes; never sugarcoating the intensity and drive it takes on both your body and mind. Kudos to Adam Rippon for keeping his sanity and humor intact & 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼earning a bronze medal in South Korea. Loved his narration, honesty & humor🖤I‘m a fan🙌🏻
“I was a skating raisin” ⛸🎧🏅
Listening to Adam discussing his weight reminds me of my niece, who at 92 pounds, was told she needed to be below 90 pounds if she wanted to stay competitive. The psychological abuse these athletes go through is horrible. 😢💔Really enjoying all the behind the scenes gossip that Adam is SO DELICIOUSLY dishing 😜
I‘ve been going down the YOUTUBE video hole, watching Adam Rippon‘s performances that he keeps talking about....
It‘s amazing to watch his transformation ⛸❣️Skating is such a subjective sport, so even when you do your personal best, it doesn‘t necessarily mean it‘ll be received/judged that way. You need to have a thick skin and nerves of steel to be a competitive skater. I‘m REALLY loving this audiobook ❤️
OH MY GOD, Adam Rippon is hilarious 😆 he definitely has a career in stand up🙌🏻🎤❣️
And bonus points....A shout-out to our hometown rink....The Skatium in Havertown, PA ⛸I never knew he once trained there

I haven‘t watched figure skating in years, but I‘m a sucker for a fun, inspirational sports memoir, and this delivers.
The book follows the trajectory of his career, coaches, trainers, and family from his small-town PA roots to the Olympic medal stand in Korea.
So many Olympic athletes now are incredibly young, and he shows the wonderful perspective that can come from peaking late (28), and what it‘s like to be an openly gay Olympian. 4⭐️ ⬇️⬇️
This book is so funny!! I‘m so glad I picked it up when it was an #audible daily deal. I am a sports memoir fan (mostly), but I haven‘t followed figure skating in years, so his story is totally new to me! #audiobook

I really liked this book. I knew he was a figure skater but other than that I knew nothing about Adam before reading this. Adam's humor throughout is great, even when something bad happened or didn't go well. It really made me appreciate all Olympic figure skaters and how hard they worked to get there!
I absolutely love Adam Rippon. he was so much fun during the Olympics. His memoir made me #smile many times! Catching up on #ReallyRandomFebruary
Rippon is charming. I am totally all in on hearing about figure skating stories.
This was a fun book. I could just imagine Adam Rippon saying the words as I read. He‘s funny throughout but you also see how hard he worked to get to the Olympics and how much he and his mom sacrificed to make that possible. He‘s an inspiring person.
Not that I‘m going to stop reading but I officially made it to 24 hours! I‘m loving Adam Rippon‘s book. I can just hear him saying these words. #24B42020
