Austria wins Eurovision final in Switzerland

BASEL, Switzerland (Reuters) -Austria won the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Swiss host city Basel on Saturday, with the country's first victory since bearded drag queen Conchita Wurst won in 2014.

Operatic singer JJ won just ahead of Israel in the world's biggest music competition which was watched by more than 160 million people across the world.

The win was Austria's third in the competition, following Conchita's success in 2014 and Udo Juergens' victory in 1966.
