The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Croatia, Turkey and United States, 3
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nehterlands and United Kingdom
Countries receiving points from most juries / Denmark, 19
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Denmark in 5th place with 8 points from Poland, Australia and Serbia as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Italy in 19th place getting 12 points from Monaco
For the first half of the voting, Turkey and Netherlands took turns leading the field, but then Turkey fell back and Croatia took over the top fight with Netherlands. Croatia finished the strongest and took home their second trophy, with Netherlands taking the silver and the bronze going to Bosnia-Herzegovina. United States and Denmark rounded out the top 5.
Croatia debuted in GM08 and has been a pretty consistant participant ever since. After a shaky start, Croatia reached the top 5 in their 5th participation after a change of HoD, but has since struggled to make a mark on the scoreboard. They had to wait until GM34 for their second top 10 result, when Lana Jurcevic finished just outside the medals. Just 3 editions later, Lana Jurcevic came back and went all the way claiming the first trophy for Croatia. In the following 4 editions, Croatia did not come close to the top 10, but now just 5 editions after their first gold medal, the Balkan country triumphs again with a female soloist. In 30 participations Croatia has been to 21 finals and has reached the top 10 4 times. Well done Croatia, Ivana Maric and Stian!
