The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Cyprus, 7
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Liechtenstein, Australia, Denmark, Italy, Israel, United States and Finland
Countries receiving points from most juries / Cyprus, 20
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Andorra in 7th with 10 points from United States, Turkey and Estonia as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Turkey in 22nd, getting 12 points from Azerbaijan
After a short battle with Denmark in the beginning, Cyprus took the lead and for the rest of the journey it was clear sailing for the Mediterranean island, who won their 2nd trophy with a huge margin. Sweden ended up with the silver, and Russia took the bronze. France and United Kingdom rounded out the top 5, while South Africa finished in the top 10 for the first time, reaching 8th place.
Cyprus debuted with a bang in GM09, winning the gold with Anna Vissi. The following results were less impressive though, and Cyprus has only squeezed into the top 10 twice since. In their 26th participation, the island is also already on their 5th Head of Delegation, since Kostas took over the reigns in GM43, so the road has been rather bumpy for them. However, following 7 consecutive non-qualifications, Cyprus now goes all the way to claim their second trophy. Well done Cyprus, Michalis Hatzigiannis and Kostas!
