The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / France, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Finland, Hungary, Armenia, South Africa and Cyprus
Countries receiving points from most juries / France, 22
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Slovenia in 8th with 10 points from Norway as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / United States in 24th, getting 12 points from Spain
Following United Kingdom's double triumph, it was back to one of the other "giants", as France ended on top for the 7th time. In a distant second place we find San Marino winning their 5th medal in total, while Belgium claims their 4th medal, the bronze. Malta and Malaysia rounded out the top 5, both achieving their best ever result.
France debuted way back in GM/03, but it was only in their 3rd attempt they reached the top 10. The first medal came in GM/11, but the proud country had to wait for several years, before they finally stroke gold in GM/60, when Grégory Lemarchal came out on top. In the next 10 editions, France came really close to a second victory three times, but had to settle for the silver each time. Then in GM/90 Julien Comblat was the most popular artist and brought the contest back to France. Since then they have finished in the top 10 12 times including 5 more gold medals! Twice France has even won The Double, and both Indila and Kendji Girac are now Double Champions. The last gold medal was won by Matthieu Mendès and Pomme. France has now taken part 89 times, qualifying for 68 finals, reaching the top 10 in 40 of those and winning a total of 15 medals! This gold medal is the 6th for HoD David. Well done France, Kendji Girac and David!
