Oh wow - I had aways said Salko but then I first learnt the word in French, so didn’t give it much thought.That's what I was thinking. Can you imagine trying to "watch" skating via radio?!
I assume so. Or close enough. (It's hard to convey pronunciation via letters) The L is barely pronounced as well. So more like sow-cow. (sow as in a mother pig, not sow as in plant seeds) But not exactly.
Anyway, I've never heard it pronounced any other way on tv or in person. But I also didn't care that much about it because it was close enough and, as I said, everyone has an accent.
