Retired four-time Olympic medallist Sakamoto Kaori announced on Wednesday (13 May) that she is married.
Sakamoto, 26, dropped the bomb at her official retirement press conference, saying she tied the knot last week on 5 May. Her husband is not in figure skating.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to announce that I got married the other day,” Sakamoto said. “It’s someone I met at university. He’s the same age.
“He’s the polar opposite of me, always calm and collected but someone who I can have fun with.”
