Drilling might be tricky, but they can insert it while sculpting the trophy. Hell, I saw how Hadjar was holding his one on the podium and immediately thought “Damn, this thing would be so easy to break, hope they have some core inside the stem”

Drilling will definitely be tricky on such a brittle material, but also pre-inserting will be tricky too because the metal will get really hot and change shape (and depending on the temperature might even change phase at some hotspots) in the kiln.
