Gjon’s Tears returned to Switzerland from Rotterdam on Sunday afternoon. The 22-year-old from Freiburg took third place in the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday behind Italy and France.

Tired but happy, he answered questions from waiting journalists after a short night at Zurich Airport. He has not really realized it yet, the singer tells the keystone-sda agency. It was a very intense time.

The end result came late and after that there were lots of interviews for the third-placed – and of course there was also a party. “While celebrating, I wanted to get to know the other participants.” There was no time left for a night’s sleep. “I haven’t slept at all,” he reveals. (ldu)
