The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Denmark, France, Lithuania, Ukraine and United Kingdom, 3
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Norway and Israel
Countries receiving points from most juries / San Marino, 21
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / South Africa in 11th with 10 points from Czech Republic, United Kingdom, North Macedonia and Switerland as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Dominican Republic in 25th getting 12 points from Albania
North Macedonia got the first top mark, but quickly past on the lead to Denmark who held on for a little while, before United Kingdom and San Marino started a duel for the top spot. When all the juries had had their say, San Marino was the country to beat, but United Kingdom was not far behind. Romania, Germany and Denmark was also still within reach. As seen several times before, the televote showed a different picture. Ukraine was the winner with the public, but Spain received the same amount of points. They had only finished 11th and 18th respectively with the juries. Serbia (10th) took 3rd place in the televote and was followed by Portugal (25th) and the jury winner San Marino. Since San Marino placed ahead of the nearest competitors in the televote, the tiny country was crowned as champion comfortably ahead of United Kingdom and Germany. Televote winner Ukraine settled into 4th place just ahead of Serbia.
San Marino made its debut in GM10 with a solid 4th place finish. However, after only 5 participations they quit the contest and didn't return until GM31. It then took only another 5 participations, before the tiny country could call themselves Global Music Champions! Appassionante, their first champion, could be called a female version of their later champions, Il Volo - winning in GM120 - so it seems that this sound works well for San Marino. They have, however, also triumphed with a more mainstream pop sound, when Tony Maiello took home the gold in GM80. After being a regular participant for almost 100 editions, San Marino quit the contest following GM161, but returned in GM172 with a new HoD, Paolo, who got off to the perfect start, claiming victory in his first attempt with Diodato. However, San Marino quickly came back to earth and had to wait until GM185 to finished inside the top 10 again, but this has now happened 8 times since their last triumph, and now they take home the gold for the fifth time.
San Marino has now taken part 138 times, and has a qualifying percentage envied by many, as they have been to 106 finals, reaching the top 10 in 48 of those and winning a total of 12 medals! Well done San Marino, La Rappresentante di Lista and Paolo!
