The Result

Countries receiving most 12 points / Ghana and Italy, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Andorra, Albania, United States and Norway
Countries receiving points from most juries / Cyprus, 22
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Norway in 9th with 10 points from Ghana, Colombia and Liechtenstein as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Malta in 25th, getting 12 points from Italy

Cyprus received the first set of top marks and then managed to stay on top for the entire voting! Denmark took home the silver medal, which is their 14th! The bronze medal was won by triple champion Italy, and France and Ghana rounded out the top 5. The latter achieved their best ever result, and so did Haiti in 6th place.

Cyprus made their debut in GM/09, and what a debut it was! In their first attempt Anna Vissi soared to the top and claimed gold. It was always going to be tough to follow up on such a debut, and Cyprus struggled big time, only squeezing into the top 10 twice over the following almost 40 editions. During this time the HoD changed several times, before the current HoD, Kostas, took over in GM/43. His career began with 5 non-qualifications, before Michalis Hatzigiannis did the trick again and took the trophy in GM/48. The form of the island then improved drastically and only 11 editions later, Michalis would once again triumph. Cyprus has also won 3 bronze medals over the years; the latest coming in GM/95, and now Dionisis Sxoinas brings GM to the Mediterranean island for the 4th time. Cyprus has competed a total of 90 times, reaching the final on 62 and the top 10 on 22 of those participations respectively. Well done Cyprus, Dionisis and Kostas!
