Vlašić is a mountain in the very center of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its peak is called Paljenik and has an elevation of 1,943 m above sea level. The mountain is a major center for winter tourism thanks to its excellent accommodation for skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports. It is also a popular destination for summer visitors and eco-tourists, with many hiking trails and undisturbed wilderness areas. Blanka Vlašić [ˈblanka ˈʋlaʃitɕ] (born 8 November 1983) is a Croatian athlete who specialises in the high jump. She is the current Croatian record holder in the event, and also the current World Champion both indoors and outdoors. Her personal best jump of 2.07 m was set on 7 August 2007 and is the joint third highest height cleared in the history of the event. She is six feet and four inches (1.93 m) tall, taller than most male high jumpers. The daughter of Croation record holder, Joško Vlašic, she was a talented junior athlete and attended her first Olympic Games in 2000 Sydney at the age of sixteen. She won the World Junior Championships in Athletics in both 2000 and 2002. Vlašić broke her national record in 2004 and also won her first world senior medal at the World Indoor Championships that year. A hyperthyroid condition marred her second Olympic appearance in Athens and spent the 2005 season recuperating from surgery. She returned in 2006, taking the silver at the World Indoor Championships. In the 2007–08 seasons she won gold medals at both the indoor and outdoor World Championships, the World Athletics Final, and won a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics. She ranks third in the all-time high jump rankings, behind Kajsa Bergqvist and Stefka Kostadinova.
Accordingly, she had an early start in international competition: she competed at the inaugural World Youth Championships, finishing eighth,[6] and represented her country for the first time at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Although the Olympics showed that she was not ready to compete at the senior level, she proved herself to be more than proficient at the junior level by winning the 2000 World Junior Championships with a jump of 1.91 m.[7] She was a regular competitor at senior athletics meetings and was steadily improving, qualifying for further top-level senior events. Vlašić finished sixth at the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton with a mark of 1.94 m, a result which led the IAAF's Ed Gordon to mark her out as a future star in the event.[8] She rounded off the year by winning her first senior gold medal at an international tournament, taking first place at the 2001 Mediterranean Games.[9] The results of Vlašić's final year as a junior showed further development as a high jumper. She set a new indoor best of 1.92 m at the 2002 European Indoor Championships and was the favourite to win the 2002 World Juniors.[1][5] She won the competition by a margin of nine centimetres, setting a new personal best of 1.96 m and attempting the symbolic two metres height. She failed to pass the bar but remained pleased with her achievements: "This was the first time I tried the 2-metre mark. That would have been a bonus. Today what matters is the gold. I am very happy I retained my world junior title".[10] At the final major event of the season, the European Championships, she could not repeat her previous form and finished in fifth place.[5] Nevertheless, at the end of the year she was ranked in the top ten high jumpers in the world for the season
