What a finish! Japan finished as runner-up and took home the silver, while the bronze went to United States. Sweden and Russia rounded out the top 5.
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.
