The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / San Marino, 6
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Denmark, Monaco and Switzerland
Countries receiving points from most juries / Netherlands, 18
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Czech Republic in 8th with 10 points from South Korea and Morocco as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Spain in 22nd getting 12 points from France
This was a close fight for victory! Going into the last jury, three countries could win the gold, but naturally only one country triumphed: Netherlands. Only one point behind, San Marino had to settle for silver, while United Kingdom took home the bronze. Denmark and China rounded out the top 5.
Netherlands was one of the founding members of Global Music, but they had to wait until their 99th participation to win the big trophy! Their first top 10 result was achieved in GM/07, and the first medal - one of bronze - came in GM/09. It has, however, always been up and down for Netherlands, and they have missed the final in almost every third participation. They have also come very close to victory before, winning 4 silver medals, first claimed by Glennis Grace in GM/29 and then followed by Petra Berger in GM/42, Kim-Lian and Linda Bengtzing in GM/49 and Mr Probz in GM/106. And then finally in GM/113 Lisa Lois finished on top bringing Global Music to Netherlands for the first time. A few more medals followed, before the current HoD, Romeo, took over the reigns as recently as GM/145. Since then Netherlands has only finished outside the top 5 twice including 2 silver medals and a bronze medal. But now, Romeo can raise his hands high as he claims the second gold medal for Netherlands. Well done Netherlands, HAEVN and Romeo!
