Available for over a year

One of the biggest annual television events in Europe is being held in the Swedish capital Stockholm this weekend. The Eurovision Song Contest has been running since 1956 and has been won by the likes of Abba and Sir Cliff Richard. Now you might think there's no direct link link between sport and the Eurovision Song Contest. But you are wrong... It's taken all day, but we've found one.
