Czech singer Aiko fails to reach Eurovision final

Czech singer Aiko has failed to reach the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The 24-year-old’s song Pedestal was not among the 10 chosen to go through from the semi-final in the Swedish city of Malmö on Thursday night.

No Czech artist has ever won Eurovision. The most successful contestant so far was singer Mikolas Josef, who took sixth place in 2018.
