Rebecca Ann "Becky" Bereswill (born October 2, 1990) is an American figure skater. She is the 2008 Junior Grand Prix Final champion. In 2014, she was cast as Elsa in the Disney on Ice version of Frozen.
Rebecca Ann Bereswill, nicknamed Becky, was born in 1990 in Houston, Texas. She is the elder of identical twins; her twin sister, Allison, is also a figure skater and track and field athlete.
Bereswill studied ballet with the Houston Ballet from age four to thirteen and appeared in a local production of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty.
She attended pre-school through middle school at The Post Oak School in Bellaire, Texas, and then went next door to high school at the Episcopal High School in Bellaire, Texas. She graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2009 and currently attends the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Bereswill began skating at age seven with her sister. She competed on the regional and sectional level in the United States for many years. In the 2003–04 season, competing on the novice level, she won the silver medal at her regional championships to qualify for the sectional championships, where she placed 12th. The following season, she remained on the novice level and again won the silver medal at her regional championship to advance to sectionals, where she moved up from the previous year to place 7th. She moved up to the junior level in the 2005–06 season and qualified for sectionals, where she placed 5th and missed qualifying for the national championships by one placement. In the 2006–07 season, remaining on the junior level, she again qualified for her sectional championship, where she placed 8th on the junior level.
In the 2007–08 season, having moved up to the senior level, Bereswill won her regional championship and won the silver medal at her sectional championship to qualify for the United States Figure Skating Championships for the first time in her career. At the 2008 United States Figure Skating Championships, she placed 10th on the senior level. Following the national championships, she made her senior international debut at the AEGON Challenge Cup spring competition in The Hague, Neatherlands and won the bronze medal.
