She looks lovely. I remember when so many figure skating fans were harping about how "fat" and out of shape Rachael was when she was competing, especially during "Tibia-gate". People can be pretty mean and harsh. I'm glad she learned to rise above it all and not pay attention to the negativity and the haters.

@RachaelFlatt
Good luck to @USFigureSkating @AngelaWangster and @MaxTAaron in France! #TeamUSA. Looking forward to doing coverage 4 @nbc @universalsports

So ... if I am reading this tweet correctly, seems that Rachael will be part of the on-air team both for NBC and for Universal Sports for TEB? :cool:

ETA (on Nov 12), clarification:
I guess Rachael meant only Universal Sports. She is not part of NBC's on-air team for TEB.

I was wondering whether Tara and Johnny's roles in coverage of the dog show would affect their involvement in NBC's TEB coverage.
(My understanding is that the dog show takes place this weekend, and NBC's coverage then will air on Thanksgiving Day.)

Extrapolating from Rachael's tweet, I have a feeling that W/L will not take part in NBC's TEB coverage??

ETA (on Nov 11):
Maybe I speculated too soon. Johnny's website shows the dog show coverage as well as TEB coverage. Not physically impossible to do both, but it will be a busy weekend.

Sorry, I did speculate too soon. NBC's on-air team for TEB = Weir/Lipinski/Belbin. Plus Wilson on the ground in France. No Gannon this week. (Source: the NBC press release from Nov 11 at the link above)​

In any case, good luck to Angela :yay: and Max :yay:.

Oh wonderful! I had no idea Rachael was coaching!

I know that Rachael has been involved in coaching at the World Arena during her summer breaks from Stanford -- via photos and/or video of her helping Max as well as at least one much younger skater.

But I had not seen Rachael officially listed as a coach in an IN bio -- until Angela's.

New off-copy image of Rachael from a calendar she's on, was referred by Twitter. Man, I wish I could get a better copy, or buy an original calendar, 'cause this is a new side of the always adorably cute Rachael! Here's to the Beautiful Buff Babe! http://oi67.tinypic.com/mkchuv.jpg

Although retired from 2014, I considered the 2010 US national champion and the 2008 junior world champion deserved an OP summarizing the whole of her career, so I've updated it so that all the fans enjoy having all her results, programs and quite a lot of videos in one place. Enjoy :)

Thank you, Mohacz! And thank you for telling us what you did. Without a comment to bump the thread, I would not know to look!

From Flatt's social media feed (Twitter, FB and IG) she continues to be very busy. She and her boyfriend, Eric Iwashita, a fellow classmate at Stanford, announced their engagement recently. She also participated in a call with Awakin.org on athlete mental health, is giving a skating workshop in North Carolina this coming weekend, was recently named to a subcommittee for the USOC board of directors on governance and nominations, and continues to pursue her PhD research at UNC/Chapel Hill.

bumping this thread up...as it has not been updated in about 4 years

Flatt and her long time boyfriend, Eric Iwashita, were married in her parents back yard in Colorado in August 2020.


Flatt recently posted on Twitter...that she had matched for her internship at Duke Medicine beginning this summer

"Guess I'll be trading in my Carolina blue for a new shade of blue
@DukePsychiatry
for my clinical psych internship! One step closer to being Dr. Flatt!"
Flatt continues her research on eating disorders and athlete mental health.

Flatt also participated on a distinguished panel, "Mental Health Considerations for Athletics" for The US Council for Athletes Health earlier this week, including Candice Williams, PhD, LMHC, the Director of Mind, Health and Wellness for the Boston Celtics and Abigail Eiler, LMSW, MSW, QMHP where she is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work.
