Wiz-new-ski ?

Try to pronounce it as it was :Wishnyevski. It is the closest to Polish pronounciation. Americans cannot spell it right, but in Polish there is a little diacritical mark above "s", which sounds like "shi". That is why you should prounounce it like this, not "Wizniewski".

the athlete pronounces it that way ...
Wiz-new-ski (as you have it) but that might not mean the correct answer but at least you'd have a good story as your apology if it's wrong ...

In it's non-Americanised form, it would be viz-nyev-ski / viz-nyev-skee.
