Germany won Eurovision Song Contest

The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 was the 55th annual Eurovision Song Contest, broadcasted from the Telenor Arena in Barum, a suburb of Oslo, Norway.
Acts from 25 countries took to the stage during the event, hoping to impress voters from across Europe. Germany emerged triumphant at this year's Eurovision Song Contest with Lena singing "Satellite" as the UK limped home in last place. Turkey's MaNga came in second place, with Romania third and Denmark fourth. Russia was given only the 11th place. Organisers also allowed Spain to perform twice during the event after a fan disrupted his first performance by jumping on stage.
With 246 points, Germany was named the winner of the contest. It was their second win after 28 years and the first time since 1997 that a Big 4 country won the contest. Speaking after her win, 19-year-old Lena, said: "I'm so happy and so thankful and so grateful." Even though Lena danced regularly during her childhood – from Ballet to Jazz and Hip Hop – she made her way to music without piano lessons or vocal training. But she got her chance, grabbed it and developed rapidly.
It was my last podcast in this academic year. So I want to make a conclusion. Speaking about this podcast it was long but very interesting. It was not about economy that’s why the vocabulary was clear. As for the whole time of listening podcasts during this academic year I want to say that I see a real progress.
