Operación Triunfo is a Spanish reality television music competition to find new singing talent. The eighth series, also known as Operación Triunfo 2011, aired on Telecinco from 16 January 2011 and had a considerably shorter run than the earlier series. Early reasons reported for this were poor ratings, but tensions and disagreements between production company Gestmusic Endemol and Telecinco have been presented as the main reason for its early discontinuation, airing its final on 20 February 2011. The season was presented by Pilar Rubio and won by Nahuel Sachak.
