Last night were the grand finals of the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest in Italy. This year's competition had 40 countries enter and compete in two semi-final rounds with 25 in the grand finale. Again, Russia was not allowed to compete due to its invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.
Kalush Orchestra, who won the first semi-final, won this year's contest. They won with 631 points which is incredible. Their song "Stefania" is the first song sung entirely in Ukrainian. It's also the first song to ever win with hip-hop elements. Here's their winning performance.
The UK came in second place. Sam Ryder's song "Space Man" received 466 points. This sets a record for the UK with 16 second place finishes.
The winner of the second semi-final, Sweden, finished in fourth place behind Spain.
Czechland didn't do so well. We Are Domi earned just 38 points and ended up in 22nd place. But at least we made the grand finale and beat Iceland, France, and Germany.
If anyone's interested in watching the full grand finale then here's the complete 4,25 hour show that's available on YouTube.
Well done Ukraine! I hope that this isn't the only thing that they win this year. Я за Україну. Я за Україною. Слава Україні Stojím za Ukrajinou! I stand with Ukraine.
