Netherlands stormed out of the gates with 5 of the first 6 juries having the song in their top 3, and for a long time it looked like a sure victory. Then Sweden started to gain momentum, eventually collecting enough points to pass Netherlands and claim their 15th trophy. Sweden now ties with United Kingdom as the country with most gold medals. Netherlands took home the silver and Italy got the bronze with Norway and Portugal rounding 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 5 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, Måns Zelmerlöw, Smith & Thell and now Klara Hammarström. Sweden has now taken part 158 times, and is thus one of the most faithfull countries in GM. Their track record is very impressive. They have been to 128 finals, reaching the top 10 in 74 of those and winning a total of 34 medals! This gold medal is the 4th for José Manuel, who took over the Swedish delegation in GM85. Well done Sweden, Klara Hammarström and José Manuel!
