Claim: Koit Toome represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 with the song “Mere lapsed” that garnered 97 points, making it the unexpected winner, versus "Unistus igavesest päevast" with 94 points.
Evidence: Estonia's record at the contest was a successful one from 1996 to 2002, only failing once to make the top 10 (in 1998 when it ended up in 12th place).
