The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Ethiopia, 6
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Serbia, Andorra, Belgium, Hungary, South Korea and Russia
Countries receiving points from most juries / Ethiopia, 24
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Denmark in 7th with 10 points from United Kingdom and Morocco as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Andorra in 26th getting 12 points from Spain
Ukraine got off to a strong start, taking an early lead, but it then quickly turned into a duel between Czech Republic and Ethiopia. When the 26 juries representing the countries in the final had spoken, Czech Republic was on top of the scoreboard, but the semi finalists voting clearly favored Ethiopia, who ended up winning with a big margin of 49 points. Czech Republic took the silver medal and the bronze went to Spain just ahead of Ireland and Canada, who rounded out the top 5.
Ethiopia did not debut until GM116 and only gave it one shot. Not qualifying for the final, they decided to quit. However, seeing other African countries like South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria winning the contest, Ethiopia decided to give it another go and returned in GM156 with a new HoD. Since then the East African country has been a consistent participant. They reached their first final with their return entry, but have never finished inside the top 10. In their first 12 participations, a 12th place has been their best result, but that all changes with the wave of a wond, as Ethiopia takes home a huge victory in their 13th attempt. As it turns out, 13 is not always an unlucky number! Well done Ethiopia, The Weeknd and Luella!
