Mans Zelmerlow won a thrilling 2015 Eurovision Song Contest for
Sweden. "Heroes" gained 14 12 points in the semi-final. Runners-up
Russia were the first to score over 300 points and not win. Without
the juries though, Italy would have won the Contest, Sweden would
have finished 3rd. Hosts Austria suffered the dreaded "nul points"
