With talks of a Tangled live action remake, I decided to create somewhat of a mood board, inspired of course by beautiful Bavaria♡

Věra Čáslavská

Čáslavská (May 3, 1942 - August 30, 2016) was a Czechoslovak artistic gymnast. She is the second-most awarded female gymnast in the Olympics, with a total of 11 medals.

Before the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, her training facility was lost due to the Soviet led invasion of Czechoslovakia. She was then forced to train alone, in the forest, using logs as beams and potato sacks as weights. Despite her setbacks, she went on to win medals in all six events.

While at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics Čáslavská publicly protested the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia by silently looking down and away while the USSR’s anthem played.

She was revered by the Czech people and was awarded Czechoslovakia’s Sportsperson of The Year award in 1968. However, due to her protest, she became a persona non grata in the new Czechoslovak regime, and was forced to retire, also being denied the ability to travel and work.

21 years later, after the Velvet Revolution, Čáslavská’s status had improved and she became the President’s adviser on sports and social matters. Her story is that of resistance and resilience in times of hardship, she was a Czech icon whose protest should never be forgotten.
