The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Denmark, Germany and Morocco, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / China, Malta, United Arab Emirates and Denmark
Countries receiving points from most juries / Morocco, 21
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Lithuania in 11th with 10 points from Portugal, Iceland and Andorra as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Bolivia in 22nd getting 12 points from France, Singapore and South Korea
The voting started off muddy with no clear frontrunner, but then Germany all of sudden got a string of high marks in a row and took the lead. About half way through, Morocco picked up the pace and jumped ahead and then never looked back. Germany fell back but came back strong towards the end, claiming the silver, while Belgium took the bronze. Denmark and United Kingdom rounded out the top 5.
Morocco debuted all the way back in GM04 and was a regular participant up until GM17, racking up 2 top 10 results.. After a very long break, they returned in GM72, but their particpations were very sporadic and their results dismal. Then in GM132 current HoD, Yoav, took over and Morocco has only missed a few editions since. Their results have also improved with several appearances in the finals and even a silver medal for Faouzia in GM157. In total Morocco has now participated 50 times, and what a way to celebrate that milestone! Faouzia takes home her and Morocco's second medal, and this time of the purest gold. Well done Morocco, Faouzia and Yoav!
