Was watching Joaquim Cruz 800m videos on youtube the other day.
Different announcers said his name "Joe-ah-keem", "Wah-keem" and "Ya-keem".
Which is correct?

The J is pronounced like the j in French "Je t'aime."
The o as "oo"
qui as "kee" and the m adds a nasal sound in the end.
It's pronounced like you say "Joaquin"...
Like Joaquin Phoenix. The British announcers destroy everyone's name. Its just their accent. For Alberto Juantorena they say Won-tor-ree-na. For Bekele they have countlessly said Bikila...dont worry
He is from Brazil. Portuguese have a different pronunciation. I know how it is pronounced because I had a row of Brazilian girls screaming his name in my ear at the 84 games in LA.

True. Though even in Brazil it may vary.
It can be as I wrote above or the o can be pronounced like the French word "eau".
WAH-keem
"Joo-keem" is how you say it is pronounced?

Sorry, forgot the "a"
Joo (with the french J), ah! keem
Thanks!
I think Spanish and Portuguese speakers pronounce it differently.

Hey buddy, just call me Joe.
I wonder if Joaquim is basically the same name as Hakeem as in Hakeem Olajuwon.
I say it like this:
JOE - KIM
Cut the nonsense, it's pronounced:
Joe-ah-keen
Leave any French and Spanish sounds out of it
EOT
