Vlahov died of cancer in 1997, aged 56. He was married to Eva Kampe, who also represented Australia in athletics at the 1962 Perth Games. Their son, Andrew Vlahov, became a professional basketball player, while a grandson, Griffin Logue, is a professional Australian rules footballer.

At the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, hosted in Perth, Vlahov was one of four Australians selected to compete in the men's discus event. He placed sixth overall with a throw of 158 feet 5 inches (48.29 m), and was the second-best Australian behind gold medallist Warwick Selvey. Vlahov also represented Australia at the 1967 Summer Universiade in Tokyo, and served as the flag-bearer. He threw 52.52 metres (172 ft 4 in) to place fourth overall, landing 0.64 metres (2 ft 1 in) behind bronze medallist Neal Steinhauer of the United States.

Vlahov was the Western Australian state champion in the discus 20 times, and runner-up on another four occasions. He also won the state shot put title three times, the decathlon twice, and the hammer throw once. Between 1960 and 1975, Vlahov medalled for Western Australia in thirteen editions of the Australian Open Track and Field Championships. He won two gold medals (in 1969 and 1975), nine silver medals, and three bronze medals. With the exception of a bronze medal for the shot put in 1969, all of his medals were for the discus.
