Rachael Elizabeth Flatt (born July 21, 1992) is an American former competitive figure skater. She is the 2008 World Junior champion, a winner of four silver medals on the Grand Prix series, and the 2010 U.S. national champion.
At the 2010 U.S. Championships, she was nominated to represent the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics and placed 7th. She is a 2015 graduate of Stanford University.
Flatt was born on July 21, 1992 in Del Mar, California. She is an only child. Her father is a biochemical engineer and her mother a molecular biologist. Her grandfather competed on the national level in fencing.
Flatt is a 2010 graduate of Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In spring 2015, she received a bachelor's degree from Stanford University, where she majored in biology with a minor in psychology. She was the junior class president and a member of the Alpha Phi sorority. As of July 2016, she was working at a mental health research lab.
Flatt began skating at age four. In addition to her singles career, Flatt also competed as a pair skater from 2001 to 2004 with partner Andrew Speroff. The pair won the silver medal at Nationals on the juvenile level in 2003 and the intermediate title in 2004.
Competing in ladies' singles, Flatt won the US Novice national title in 2005 at age 12. While, under other circumstances, this would have earned her an event on the Junior Grand Prix for the following season, Flatt was three weeks too young to compete internationally as a junior. She was invited to compete at the 2005 Triglav Trophy event in Slovenia, where she won the Novice competition. Later in 2005, Flatt was invited to compete at the 2005 North American Challenge competition as a junior lady, where she won the bronze medal. Flatt won the silver medal at US Nationals at the junior level in 2006.
