I think a major part of the Olympic Games is under valued and that was reiterated to me reading this book. The Paralympic Games are full of amazing athletes with incredible stories and I'm so glad I got to delve deeper into this one.
Oksana's life has been hard, but her efforts to be the best in multiple sports would be a feat even without her backstory. I loved her vulnerability as she shared both extremes of emotion, happy and sad, and how she wrote about how her life has been shaped by how she deals with those ups and downs.
If you are looking for an Olympic read that will carry you beyond the closing of the traditional Olympic Games, pick this one up. It is great on audio.
Thanks to Libro.fm, Simon Audio and Scribner for the audio copy. All opinions are my own.
