The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Lebanon and Denmark, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Netherlands, Israel, Serbia and United States
Countries receiving points from most juries/ Netherlands, 21
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / United States in 7th with 10 points from United Kingdom, Monaco and Ghana as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Russia in 26th, getting 12 points from Ukraine
Lebanon became the latest in a string of first-time-winners, when they fought off Switzerland and United Kingdom, who ended up with the silver and bronze medal respectively. Netherlands and Norway rounded out the top 5.
Lebanon made their debut back in GM/13 and had their first top 10 result in the following edition. They came very close to a medal in GM/22, when Cheb Mami and Elissa finished 4th. Lebanon has never been a consistant participant though, and has so far "only" competed 27 times. They won their first medal in GM/85, returning after a longer break, with Fady Maalouf claiming the bronze. That was, however, not enough to convince Lebanon of staying in the contest, and they only returned as recently as GM/111, when the current HoD, Bruno, took over the responsibilities. He has brought Lebanon to the final on 4 of his 5 participations, and now crowns his efforts with a gold medal. Well done Lebanon, Massari and Mia and Bruno!
