From Cyrpus to San Marino, the running order in the grand final of the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest has been decided.
In the last seven years, the running order, like all other Eurovision running orders since 2013, is controlled by the producers of the show, and then approved by the European Broadcasting Union.
Certainly, in terms of discussing the winners and losers of the running order, we can clearly see the impact that the running order had on how betting odds moved in the aftermath.
Malta became a less likely winner, being drawn so early, whereas Italy shortened to become a clear favourite after being the last of the considered favourites in slot 24.
