    BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova, who appeared on the cover of 2003 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, was injured and her photographer boyfriend is missing after the pair were caught up in the Asian tsunami disaster, a spokeswoman for the boyfriend said today.

    The British tabloid The Sun reported that she clung to a tree for eight hours to keep from washing away in a massive tsunami.     

    But, the fate of her boyfriend, photographer Simon Atlee, is unknown. He is listed as missing, according to his agent.    

    Nemcova, 25, has appeared in magazines including Sports Illustrated, Marie Claire and Vogue, and also has modeled for Victoria's Secret.

    Atlee, 33, is a well-known fashion photographer who recently shot the pictures for Nemcova's 2005 calendar.
