At 26, Sakamoto Kaori — four-time Olympic medallist and one of figure skating's most enduring presences — closed one chapter and quietly revealed another had already begun.

It was a reminder that even the most public lives contain rooms the audience never enters — and that the athlete stepping off the ice is always more than the medals she carried onto it.
