The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Denmark, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Denmark, Greece and Lithuania
Countries receiving points from most juries / Norway, 20
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Sweden in 7th with 10 points from Switzerland and Hungary as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Portugal in 26th getting 12 points from Sweden
United Kingdom, Italy and United States took turn leading at the beginning, before Norway took over, creating a somewhat comfortable lead. Despite having to hand it over to Germany shortly, Norway held on and finished on top with the juries ahead of Denmark and Germany. None of these three countries featured in the televote's top 3 though. That was won by Morocco ahead of South Africa and Serbia. Norway finished in 7th place in the televote 10 points behind Germany in 4th. However, that was still enough to hang on to the top spot, and so Norway now takes home their third trophy ahead of Germany and Denmark. Morocco and South Africa rounded out the top 5.
Norway debuted in GM04, but had a tumultuous start with three different HoDs in their three first participations. The third brought Norway their first medal, one of silver, in GM08 and followed that up with another one in GM13. Several other top 10 results were achieved before Norway took a break again after GM18. The 4th HoD brought Norway the first gold medal, when Dina triumphed in GM23. This was followed by a bronze medal on home soil and several other top 10 results and new HoDs, before Norway took home their second trophy with Marit Larsen in GM53. Since then Norway has come really close to that third triumph several times, finishing as runner-up an impressive 10 times! The current HoD, Tor-Eirik, took over Norway in GM102 and is responsible for 7 silver medals and 1 bronze medal, but now he can finally call himself a Champion for Norway! In total Norway has participated 156 times, reaching 107 finals, finishing in the top 10 on 51 participations and winning 17 medals. Well done Norway, Maria Mena and Tor-Eirik!
