The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Monaco, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Switzerland, Germany and Russia
Countries receiving points from most juries / Nigeria, 19
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Netherlands in 4th with 10 points from Turkey, San Marino and Nigeria as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Turkey in 24th getting 12 points from South Korea
Though in general it was a very close race, Nigeria did pull away from the rest, gaining a comfortable lead, and with noone being able to close the gap, Nigeria could triumph for the first time. Monaco took home the silver medal, and South Korea won the bronze - their second consecutive top 5 finish. Netherlands - also with a second consecutive top 5 result - and New Zealand rounded out the top 5.
Nigeria debuted in GM52, made it to the final in the following edition and reached the top 5 in its third attempt. After a break the country came back and achieved another top 10 result, which did not happen every other day for African nations, and in GM77 Nigeria finished on the podium for the first time, when Ty Bello took home a bronze medal. Despite this success, they skipped the contest again, but returned about a year later. After a few editions when they only reached the final once, Nigeria seemed to give up, but after a hiatus of almost 5 years, they came back as recently as GM148 and achieved their best result to date, with Jacob Banks winning the silver. And now just 2 editions later, Nigeria takes the last step to the top of the podium claiming gold with Cobhams Asuquo. Nigeria has now participated 18 times, been in 9 finals, reached the top 10 seven times and won 3 medals. This is the second gold medal for HoD, Gretchen, who also triumphed with Egypt recently. Well done Nigeria, Cobhams Asuquo and Gretchen!
