Petra Nemcova |
Petra Nemcová (born June 24, 1979 in Karviná; pronounced Nyemtsovah) is a Czechoslovakian-born fashion model and author. She was featured on the cover of the 2003 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and has also modeled for Victoria's Secret, and for many other companies in the women's clothing market.
On June 3, 2004, she was one of the
telecast judges during the 53rd annual Miss Universe competition in
Quito, Ecuador.
Atlee was killed by drowning, and Nemcová suffered a broken pelvis and
serious internal injuries, and was stripped naked of her swimsuit, but she
managed to hold onto the top of a palm tree, reportedly for eight hours,
until she was rescued by Thai civilians and airlifted to an inland hospital
nearby. Petra spent three weeks in a Thai hospital, and then flew home to
the Czech Republic, where she spent an additional three weeks in the
hospital. Her first interview after her near-death | |||||||||
