Starting the voting, Belgium, Ireland and Canada were all contenders for victory, but one third into the sequence Switzerland took the lead and stayed on top until the end. Mexico and Canada took home the silver and bronze respectively, and Australia and Belgium rounded out the top 5. 

Switzerland debuted as late as GM/30 and only gave the competition one try before disappearing again for another 25 editions. When they finally returned, their results were less than impressive, and the Alpine country had to wait until GM/66 to finish in the top 10 for the first time, when they finished 9th. Throughout their first 26 participations this was the only top 10 result, and Switzerland lost its patience and left again. Then in GM/95, a new player stepped up for the challenge of bringing Switzerland a good result. José Botella, the current HoD, took charge and in his very first attempt, Switzerland did just squeeze into the top 10, which was followed by their first gold medal in GM/96. On home soil, the country took home the silver, a feat it repeated just two editions ago, and now in only his 11th participation, José Botella strikes gold again! So what Switzerland could only manage once in its first 26 participations, they have now managed 6 times in the last 11 editions! Well done Switzerland, 77 Bombay Street and José Botella!
