This "flying goddess of victory" is only more than 20 centimeters high. She opened her arms as if holding a huge hexagonal object. After Brazil won the championship three times, the trophy was permanently owned by Brazil, but it was stolen and melted down. This trophy was stolen after England 1966 won. Later, a puppy happened to find it again in a park in London.

The America's Cup is a unique trophy shaped like a kettle, originally called "100 Gini Cup", and it is the oldest trophy in modern sports.

From 1983, the Copa America changed hands several times, and then it fell to New Zealand. 1997 At the beginning of this year, the America's Cup suffered a disaster: because of dissatisfaction with discrimination against his own race, a Maori youth once hit and damaged it with a hammer.

World Cup On 1970, the night when Brazil won the World Cup for the third time, FIFA decided to make a new trophy to replace the Rimet Cup, which had been awarded to Brazil for life. Sculptor Silvio gazzaniga stood out in the competition. The trophy he designed-two Hercules hold up their arms and hold up an earth, and the outline of the ball is also like a football, so people call it the Hercules Cup. In order to protect the 18K gold on the trophy, the head of the Football Association rarely shows it. So this trophy has been kept in the safe of Zurich Bank, and it is rarely taken out.
The urn, a strange small cricket trophy, never changed hands. No matter who wins, it always sits in the window of the Rhodes Museum in London, but it still organizes many famous cricket matches in its own name. Every two years, the British and Australians hold a competition. The first competition dates back to 1882. At that time, England was defeated by the Australian team, and this defeat caused strong repercussions throughout the country. A few days later, the British Sports Times posted the following news on its page: "I mourn the death of English cricket on August 29th. 1882. Attention to its sad friends: the body of the dead cricket will be cremated soon, and the ashes will be shipped to Australia as soon as possible ... "Two years later, England won the game in Australia, but people gave the urn containing the ashes of cricket goalposts to the captain of the England team and brought it back to England. Until now, this jar is still kept in the window of Mary Leiben Cricket Club (Rhodes Museum) in the English aristocratic cricket ground. This is the famous urn.

Since the Challenger Cup, the British Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon has attached great importance to awarding trophies and prizes. There are a large number of such honorary awards in the window of its museum, the most famous of which is of course the Challenger Cup awarded to men's singles every year since 1887. However, because Wimbledon claims to be the most important tennis match in the world, the winner not only won this honor, but also won two other trophies: the Renshaw Cup initiated by King George V of England and presented by members of the royal family, and the President Cup.
Winning Cup This is the oldest football trophy in the world, and it is awarded to the champion of the first football match held on July 20th, 872/KLOC-0, and then continued. It was ordered by an officer of the Royal British Corps of Engineers who was concerned about popularizing football. Incredibly, it was lost shortly after it was awarded: Chairman Aston Villa, who won the award at that time, showed it happily, but at 1895, someone stole it from the window. Until 1958, the thief Harry Birket admitted his crime, perhaps because he thought the time limit for investigating his crime had passed. The old man admitted that after stealing the trophy, he melted it and made it into counterfeit money.
Stanley Cup is the annual award of the top teams in the North American professional ice hockey league, and it is also the trophy that has changed the most since its birth. Over time, its base has thickened and turned into a pile of overlapping metals, so that it is difficult for a single person, even a big man, to hold it in his hand. The reason for its constant change is simple. Every year, the names of champion athletes (at least 20 people) are engraved on its base. The trophy was initiated and donated by Lord Stanley, then Governor-General of Canada, hence the name. 1893 The trophy awarded for the first time is only a small part of the top of this trophy.
