He's Private about his Personal Life!
Robin Cousins MBE is a well-known British figure skater who won the Men's Gold Medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. This book holds back a lot on his personal life. He doesn't discuss his relationships with men or women personally. He is very professional regarding his sport and his book acknowledges the challenges that he faces.
