An intense fight for victory with several countries leading thoughout the voting, and in the end a winner winning with a margin of only 1 point! Iceland secured the gold medal with the very last jury, which saw them just inch by Slovenia, who had to settle for the silver on their return to the contest. Estonia won the bronze medal, and Denmark and host country United States rounded out the top 5.
Iceland debuted in GM07 and took home a bronze medal. They reached the top 10 twice in the following 3 editions and once again reached the podium three editions in a row from GM20 to GM22. The middle of the medals - the one obtained in GM21 - was even of the purest gold and was won by Jonsi. Following a longer break, Iceland returned to the contest with a new HoD as recently as GM43 and only 2 editions later they finish on top for the second time. Well done Iceland, Yohanna and Jón!
