We must keep some things in mind while doing these types of questions that are fill in the blanks :

1. We must check which tense the passage is in. In the above passage, we can see it is in the past tense because in the first sentence itself it's written, "2 years ago".
2. We must use the correct form of the word. For example in the second blank sometimes it can also be written as "had won". In the end, we must always make sure to check which one sounds grammatically correct.
