Olympiada Thrakomakedonon opened at 49% of the vote on day one and never slipped below 43% across the next ten, closing at 57.7%. Its 1,703 votes topped Denmark's TeamGym squad, the Italian juniors and Israel's acrobatic foursome added together — 1,249 votes for the other three combined.
The lead wasn't just size, it was reach. Women backed the Greek squad more than two-to-one over men (1,145 to 516), and support stretched past its own country's 1,039 votes into the UK and US. Just 16 of those 1,703 voters were page fans — this was a crowd decision, not a fanbase turnout.
