Rising Gymnast Tragically Dies Near Iconic Tourist Spot

A rising gymnast poised to become a star within the community tragically died after plunging to her death near a popular tourist, The Daily Mail reported.

Czech gymnast Natálie Štíchová, 23, was visiting the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Bavaria, Germany on August 15. The structure is so named because it inspired the castle in Disney’s 1959 film. Witnesses say that as Štíchová suddenly lost her footing and fell 262 feet down Tegelberg Mountain.

Štíchová was accompanied on the hike by two friends and her boyfriend, David.
