This year, for the first time, to ensure inclusivity, the final of the competition was accompanied by sign language. Sign language interpreter Kateryna Zabotkina, who was responsible for adapting the songs at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, has conquered the network, UNN writes.
Details
During the National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Sweden, sign language interpreter Kateryna Zabotkina won the network for adapting songs that were first translated for people with hearing impairments.
For example, in the comments on the official Instagram page of Suspilne, people suggested sending Zabotkina to a song contest.
"Is she ready to go to Eurovision?)));
Sometimes I looked at her more than the participants.
Send her to Eurovision; it was incredible!!! Sometimes it was even more interesting to watch her than the show.
This girl had an incredible energy, thank you very much for the professional translation!"; Where to vote for the translator?
My favorite at Eurovision is a sign language interpreter. The girl who "sings" in sign language! Can we please have her go
MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak said that Zabotkina once worked in the Verkhovna Rada.
There is another contender for the Eurovision Song Contest. Kateryna Zabotkina, a sign language interpreter, is definitely a star today. When I worked at the Council, we did not know that we had such talents. You should at least give her a certificate from us.
Recall
More than 800 thousand Ukrainians voted through the Diia app for Ukraine's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest, but one participant withdrew his candidacy due to problems with the transparency of voting in the app.
