Kaori Sakamoto on Amber Glenn:

“I think the things that Amber has done for the sport is really just not about the Olympics, every competition she shows us support. She shows me support, and she encourages me, she praises me, and having someone around me in competition creating that atmosphere is really, really, something that makes me feel stronger and assured. Usually in our sport when we are rivals, we tend to not get too close before the competition, but I think Amber broke that stereotype. She’s the kind of person who thinks, ‘What can I do,’ when she sees someone in trouble or in pain, and she’s able to put that immediately into action. I speak for all of the Japanese skaters, we are all very grateful. She does it because she wants to, and I think I am sort of similar in the same type of person. I really want to help people. Even at my own expense sometimes. I think I really, really, admire Amber as a person.”
