I see that Vlha means 'oriole' in English? This is what her name comes from? It's perhaps a little less complicated than those Finnish names

 

or from the words Vlh-kosť, Vlh-núť, Vlh-ký/ká/ké, Vlh-šia/šie (humid, wet), I really don´t know

The German commentator was pronouncing her name with such a huge emphasis on an 'r' ("Vrlhova/Vrova") that at some point it got me wondering if maybe one is supposed to pronounce an 'r' in this name somewhere  

 

nope. r is r. Slovak pronounciation is easy, because everytime you have to read all letters in the word, so if there a "r" you have to read it, but if there not, so you don´t.

 

It´s VLHOVÁ

 you can hear the correct pronunciation in this tv shot. I know, it´s hard when you understand nothing, but I am pretty sure you´ll notice her name, they mention it many times in this video

Sounds like "Vololova"  But yeah, definitely no r

Funny that the last nine syllables are also a word in Dutch.

 

But yeah, the video wasn't that clear to me either. Is it pronounced Ulhova?

No. Vlhová.

Here another one, maybe with better sound (Eurosport Czech version but the same and correct pronunciation)

I always find it funny lyzovanie means skiing in Slovakian/Czech because a very similar sounding word "lyzwiarstwo" means skating in Polish. I had no idea how you call figure skating then

 

Vlhova's masculine form is Vlha though, right? Therefore I looked up the oriole.

I once asked a Finnish poster on some other forum about Krista Lahteenmaki's name and he said it meants "Tree by the lake" IIRC    Would need a reminder on that if we have some Finnish posters here

1. Figure Skating = Krasokorčuľovanie.

kraso from Krása (beauty) and korčuľovanie from Korčuľovať (skating)

 

Yep Lyžovanie is skiing from the word Lyže (plural) or Lyža (singular) (ski)

 

2. Yes, you are probably right, weird, because I just found out that I was always wrong about the meaning of her name, but yep I admit to not be any bird specialist though.
