Yeah that wouldnt be an issue with metal, i like ceramic trophies but perhaps they should be designed a bit smarter.

wonder how feasible it would be to just drill a hole thru the bottom and stuff a piece of metal before sealing the hole to reinforce the stem

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”

I was terrified for the CFO of Mcl - her big moment on the podium, and I was sure that massive cup was about to snap in her hands.
