Yeah. "ć" is a light "ch" (tongue further forward than in the harder "č"). So Vlasheech is a good english approximation. The Aussie commentator is saying "Vlasheesh", which sounds dumb! :-)
Hehe thats cool mate, one thing Ill give you aussies, your girls are hot, just like blanka here, although shes not an oz (thank goodness, would never hear the end of it haha) but the girls are definitely better looking than here in nz. Later dude.

Fair go! *I'm* an Aussie! :-)
Many would know the diff between a "ch" and a "sh". Especially given the large number of ex-yugos in sport (esp. soccer) in Aus.
(I wouldn't expect your average one to know the diff between a ć and a č, but that's not a problem confined to Aus.)
What makes this dude's pronunciation disappointing is he's from SBS, a multicultural broadcaster which is meant to know better.
(Talking of mistakes, the IAAF graphic didn't have a tick over the "c".)
