Eurovision Song Contest 1986
20 countries were in competition again. The Netherlands and Yugoslavia returned and Iceland made their debut. They wanted to participate for some years but they couldn't afford to host the event after a victory so they decided to wait until they were ready for that. Italy and Greece withdrew. Luxembourg brought us the 500th song for the Eurovision Song Contest, L'amour de ma vie. The contest was one big commercial for Norway as a country, which was very unusual for that period. Winner Sandra Kim from Belgium sang that she was 15 years old, in fact she was only 13. Belgium won for the first time and all the countries that participated in the very first contest in 1956 now had all won the contest at least once.
