It was a close battle for gold, and for a long time it looked like Lithuania would pull of a surprise victory, but unfortunately for the Baltic nation, the points dried up, and Australia and Sweden pulled ahead, with the latter finishing on top. Still Lithuania hanged on enough to claim their first ever medal! Ireland and Ukraine rounded out the top 5.
Sweden has been with us since the very beginning, when they triumphed for the first time. In the first 34 editions of the contest, Sweden took home the gold medal 9 times including a triple-victory! Since then their pace has slowed down, and they have "only" managed another 3 victories, before this one. Apart from Sanna Nielsen and Agnes Carlsson who have both won twice, the Swedish champions are: One More Time, Jessica Folcker, Basshunter, Carola, Lena Philipsson, Danny, Sibel, Elena Paparizou and now Måns Zelmerlöw. Sweden has now taken part 112 times, and is thus one of the most faithfull countries in GM. Their track record is very impressive. They have been to 88 finals, reaching the top 10 in 55 of those and winning a total of 25 medals! This gold medal is the 2nd for José Manuel, who took over the Swedish delegation in GM85. Well done Sweden, Måns and José Manuel!
