Eurovision Song Contest 2024: Triumph for Switzerland
Nemo's "The Code" Wins in Malmö, Germany Impresses with 12th Place
In a thrilling finale at Malmö Arena on Saturday night, Switzerland's Nemo emerged victorious at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. The Swiss artist's entry, "The Code," captivated the audience and jury, earning the highest score and securing the coveted trophy.
Switzerland's Redemption
Switzerland's triumph marks a significant turnaround for the nation in the competition. After several years of disappointing results, Nemo's victory represents a long-awaited redemption. The country's last victory came in 1988 with Céline Dion's "Ne partez pas sans moi."
Germany's Strong Showing
Germany also made a strong showing at Eurovision 2024, achieving its best result since 2018. The German entry, performed by Michael Schulte, finished in 12th place with the song "You Let Me Walk Alone." This result is particularly impressive given Germany's recent history of struggling in the contest.
