Countries receiving points from most juries / Spain and Switzerland, 19

The voting was really close and exciting and it was not until the very last vote that Switzerland pulled ahead to claim their 4th gold medal. Germany was only 4 points behind, settling for the silver, while Netherlands took home the bronze. This was their 3rd top 5 finish in a row! Spain and Denmark rounded out the top 5.
Switzerland debuted as late as GM30 and only gave the competition one try before disappearing again for another 25 editions. When they finally returned, their results were less than impressive, and the Alpine country had to wait until GM66 to finish in the top 10 for the first time, when they finished 9th. Throughout their first 26 participations this was the only top 10 result, and Switzerland lost its patience and left again. Then in GM95, a new player stepped up for the challenge of bringing Switzerland a good result. José Botella, the current HoD, took charge and in his very first attempt, Switzerland did just squeeze into the top 10, which was followed by their first gold medal for Myron in GM96. On home soil, the country took home the silver, a feat it repeated in GM103, just two editions before taking their second gold medal by 77 Bombay Street. Another 2 silver medals followed, before Switzerland claimed the gold for the third time with Shem Thomas in GM129, and now Levin becomes his country's 4th champion. Well done Switzerland, Levin and José Botella!
