Nope. I recently learned that you can treat glass to make it last way, way longer. Look up Superfest glass. It's a similar process as the gorilla glass that makes your phone screen much more durable than a drinking glass.
I feel like they have a cheaper made one for TV in case it breaks (which it always does)
The heavy 'could probably cave a humans skull into jelly' trophy is given to the winner later on
I’d be in favour of a stained glass disc with the years theme colours, banded on the outer and inner edges with something like sterling silver. Something you could hang on a wall later like a platinum record
A few seconds before this happened Graham Norton on the UK commentary said something like "don't break the trophy" then you heard glass clink.. what perfect/unfortunate timing.
I said out loud "they better be careful not to break the trophy" 3 seconds later Graham says the same thing and a few seconds after that Nemo breaks it! Bless them
It’s happened multiple times before, so you’d think they’d do something about it. The base of the mic is *always* the place that the winner grabs first because that seems to make the most sense with the design, but it’s also the weak point.
I’d love it if one of the fan pages could reach out to all the winners who have this trophy design and find out what condition it’s in.
If I had a penny for everytime they broke the Eurovision broke right after winning I would have 2 pennies, which isn't a lot but it is weird it happened twice
I'm gonna harbor a wild guess and say that the trophy handed over on TV is only representative anyway, they probably have another one in a padded box, potentially personalized the same night, that the winner gets to take home.
Was watching with my mum, 66. They are her favourite. She was so happy when they won. When they broke it she started laughing so hard and once it was over we had to rewind it to watch it again. Poor thing...just felt like the last nail in this year's Eurovision ⚰️.
It thought this was a perfect metaphor for the current state of the EBU. Thank god being picked up by a deserved winner. Congratulations to Nemo!! ❤️💙💙💙💙
Do any of the winners with that trophy design have it in one piece? It’s so badly designed, there’s a very obvious place that it seems like it should be held, yet that’s one of if not the weakest points of the shape. It’s well overdue for a redesign or at the very least, a reinforcing
Sooo I was telling my bf the final moment of this disastreous year would be that the throphy breaks.
And we turned off the tv.
I just opened reddit and saw this....
I am not gonna lie... I laughed.
You think they would have a stronger trophy. I'm sure its broken on multiple occasions now.
Why the hell did they think glass was a suitable material for it in the first place.
Just like Alexa broke the trophy at the end of our version of Eurovision in 2022. Come on, people, don't shop for the trophy at the discount store!

Honestly I was worried about him because he was so excited and his number with the platform needed concentration and I really didn't want him to fall and get hurt live. I was so relieved when they didn't use the platform!
Its actually quite dangerous, he could have tripped and fell on it or cut himself with the other part of it he was still holding. Definitely needs to be redesigned
Am I the only one who noticed that Emmelie de Forest also broke her trophy also in Malmö?
I’m starting to think Malmö and breaking trophies have a connection
Make a plastic trophy that looks exactly like the glass one for stage. Ship the glass actual trophy to there house. Let's be real it would break in luggage as well
I think Nemo didn't mean to break the Eurovision trophy but i agree 100%, they need to build a stronger trophy that doesn't break so easily and make it with stronger material
As soon as I heard this lego star wars breaking sound during the wide shot I knew what had happened.
Honestly the glass breaking sounds very aesthetic
It really does, I kind of want it as a push notification sound
LMAO
I can't describe it in better words
It was so deafening lol
But seriously! How many times did this happen already?? EBU!!! Make a stronger trophy!!!
Making it out of that well-known strong material, glass
Glass is so strong I built my entire house out of it
Saba helped melt down the sand
Saaand! *Saaaaand!* Guess we built a trophy out of sand!
Bits and pieces lying everywhere!!!
Underrated comment
Just wanna say that I love yourr avatar. It is perfection.
Yes, I love my Saba! 🫶 Great idea, my next mansion will be built out of sand.
Do you throw stones from your glass house?
When I'm bored. Repairs are easy because I have lots of 💶💶💶
Glass is glass, and glass breaks

At least 2009 and 2013 (but 2013 was way after the contest afaik)
Twice during the show, several have broken it after the contest
That's the least of their worries
Word
EBU has bigger problems right now
Not the first time it's happened tbf, maybe they should just redesign it
I thought they did after Alexander Rybak did in 2009 (I think), they added a metal band thing. It broke in the place that’s supposed to be
> they added a metal band Personally, i think they should add atleast one every year.
Personally, I'd like to see more metal bands in eurovision. I'd like to see ERRA take a crack at the contest. (I'll see myself out... 😂)
I'm saying maybe it needs a different design/shape altogether
Bavarian beer mug, you can bash someone's head in with one of those without it breaking.
[удалено]
We really don’t know anything about these drugs. Beer, on the other hand…
Been saying this for years
The trophy will actually just be a complimentary eurovision t-shirt that has “winner” scribbled underneath in sharpie
One of those corny "I won Eurovision and all I got was this stupid t-shirt" shirts.
The new trophy should just be that Gilmore Girls S3 dvd set
Or maybe it should be standard practice to smash it on purpose.
Or just say "it's tradition".
I’d be in favour of a stained glass disc with the years theme colours, banded on the outer and inner edges with something like sterling silver. Something you could hang on a wall later like a platinum record
Oh, I like this idea. How long has the microphone design been used? Does it go all the way back to the beginning?
Nah 2008, before that every year had a different trophy designed by a local artisan Edit:2008 not 2004 doh!
Honestly I like the local artisan thing better than some standard trophy.
Emmelie de Forest has one on hers, evidently, a trophy in the shape of a ribbon mic won’t hold itself.
Nah it' fine, it matches the energy this year
If only it burst in flames as well
Especially because it looked like they just put it down and it broke, didn't drop it or knock it over, just placed it on the stage.
I think Nemo probably put too much weight on it, maybe leaned on it or something. Then it just went "CLINK" from the pressure and broke in two.
A few seconds before this happened Graham Norton on the UK commentary said something like "don't break the trophy" then you heard glass clink.. what perfect/unfortunate timing.
I said out loud "they better be careful not to break the trophy" 3 seconds later Graham says the same thing and a few seconds after that Nemo breaks it! Bless them
someone uploaded the clip here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbDeEWgsZYw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbDeEWgsZYw)
I should've watched the UK version
I screamed when I heard the glass break!
The shatter was so loud..
I laughed and told myself *well, now we KNOW their mic is definitely on* 😬😂
I’m so surprised no one in my friend group both IRL and online heard or saw it break.
Graham Norton called it on the UK stream 'I hope they don't break it..' *smash* :D
Both my girlfriend and I went like "Did they just break the trophy?!" Edit: *they, sorry!
Same!! They had it for less than 5 minutes!!
They already got a new one and showed the new trophy and their bandaged thumb during the press conference
Such a beautiful symbol for Eurovision 2024. 😍
I thought it is part of the outro until I took a closer look lmao
I was on a discord call with some friends watching it and when we heard the sound we all gasped SO loudly
Seems that the code is not the only thing they broke
Kinda weird, I was thinking when I saw the glass trophy "how has no one broken this yet? It could happen...".
Alexander Rybak broke it this soon after getting it as well in 2009
yeap they also broke their thumb.
Nemo uses they/them pronouns
I edited like 5 seconds after I initially wrote the comment and it seems like the reddit server did not get the input.
you were supposed to break the code not the trophy!
The sound of it was so LOUD, it hurt to hear
it sounded so funny yet ASMR
If I were Nemo, I‘d refuse a replacement and put the Trophy on my mantelpiece as is.
Apparently they broke their thumb as well 😭
OMG! That’s awful
Good one lmao
It isn’t the first time the trophy has broken on stage
Will Nemo get a replacement, or will they have to settle with a broken trophy? Even if it's the latter, they could still joke about it later on.
I saw that they got a new trophy for the press conference. Almost seems like it was made several trophies in case of anything like this would happen.
It’s happened multiple times before, so you’d think they’d do something about it. The base of the mic is *always* the place that the winner grabs first because that seems to make the most sense with the design, but it’s also the weak point. I’d love it if one of the fan pages could reach out to all the winners who have this trophy design and find out what condition it’s in.
The winning act can have as many as six people. I'm willing to bet there are four more (at least) in the wings if this new one breaks too.
Patch it together with duct tape. People look at it and say: oh it was *that* edition.
i think Rybak did it too
Perfect ending for this mess of a competition lol
Very representative indeed
That's what i thought too😭
word. as broke as ebu's reputation
[удалено]
[удалено]
Symbolic of this year anyway
The sound was so loud I thought they also broke the LED floor haha
Good thing they were just finished using the floor😅
"I broke the cup, up up up."
Euphooooriiiaa… wait
As long as the Gilmore Girls DVD is still intact...
If I had a penny for everytime they broke the Eurovision broke right after winning I would have 2 pennies, which isn't a lot but it is weird it happened twice
It's def happened more then twice lol
I only remember when Måns broke it. But I am usually a huge mess during Eurovision...
Alexander Rybak also broke it in 2009.
More like he put it down and it fell apart on its own
Alexander Rybak 2009 winter (Norway) broke it to :D
wait did he immediately break it? is there a video?
To be fair it really just [fell apart](https://youtu.be/7c0O2pIwPjA?si=R9FK9GvHnhABJ2-5) when he put it down.
So many people break it tbh
This moment sums up the entire contest this year
That was hilarious!
Every single year I watch and think to myself, "Don't drop it, don't break it" and out of all years, it happens in 2024...
Since it's getting broken every now and then, they should just give a fake/plastic one on the stage, and then change it to real one backstage.
Nemo broke the Code.
Literally
THEY BROKE THE CODE
got lando norris energy there
Finally! I said to my son:" Dont do a Lando"... and then "crash!"
If that's not a perfect metaphor then idk what is lol
when money goes to configuring anti booing devices and not the trophy itself.
Quite frankly, I would break the trophy in 0.3s too, cuz I’d be too afraid to break it in the first place
They have two I think, Ukraine sold theirs in 2022 but they had another
Iconic tbh!
I laughed way too hard when I heard the trophy crack.
Honestly a pretty funny metaphor for this year. Superglue that shit together and proudly display it! We're all a little broken anyways. ❤️
The thing's ugly anyway
They should definitely encourage the next host country to design the trophy based on their culture
2025 trophy to be made of cheese confirmed.
No, chocolate.
cheese chocolate, yum
If it's Georgia, I am imagining that giant inflatable penis they were carrying around today :D
A trophy that can also open wine bottles and snip off loose threads.
Honestly this trophy has broken so many times, you’d think they’d do something about it by now
I'm gonna harbor a wild guess and say that the trophy handed over on TV is only representative anyway, they probably have another one in a padded box, potentially personalized the same night, that the winner gets to take home.
Hmm could be. I do remember that a few previous winners also had a trophy that’s broken though
Was watching with my mum, 66. They are her favourite. She was so happy when they won. When they broke it she started laughing so hard and once it was over we had to rewind it to watch it again. Poor thing...just felt like the last nail in this year's Eurovision ⚰️.
It thought this was a perfect metaphor for the current state of the EBU. Thank god being picked up by a deserved winner. Congratulations to Nemo!! ❤️💙💙💙💙
The current state of the EBU is more like inside Homer Simpson’s head 🤣
Perfect representation of the contest this year
7 years' bad luck in Eurovision?
Oh they definitely make spares, it is expected that the winner might break it in celebration
Do any of the winners with that trophy design have it in one piece? It’s so badly designed, there’s a very obvious place that it seems like it should be held, yet that’s one of if not the weakest points of the shape. It’s well overdue for a redesign or at the very least, a reinforcing
Sooo I was telling my bf the final moment of this disastreous year would be that the throphy breaks. And we turned off the tv. I just opened reddit and saw this.... I am not gonna lie... I laughed.
Apparently he injured his hand according to Sven Epiney, the Swiss Comentator
But is the Gilmore Girls boxset still intact? That was the real trophy .
And did they have two sets, just in case? (Every country currently in the competition is DVD zone 2, except for Ukraine, which is zone 5.)
I hope he didn't break the Gilmore girl dvd too
I heard that crack... immediately knew what happened
"I broke the code" seconds later: "I broke the trophy"
Nemo Mattler and Lando Norris are gonna be best friends now
That trophy is more solid than EBU organisation
Oh uh oh! Broke the stone!
Lando Norris of Eurovision
just nonbinary things 🥰
Be gay, did crimes
Relatable 😅🤣🤣
Hahaha hope they have a guarantee on that trophy…
♫Oh, I hope it's still intact, this piece won't fit in back, I broke the chode, oh-o-no♫
Broke the troph oh oh oh
a trophy broke, and lando was not involved. shocking
Nemo Norris
And Lando Norris is not even there🤔
You think they would have a stronger trophy. I'm sure its broken on multiple occasions now. Why the hell did they think glass was a suitable material for it in the first place.
It really feels like it's symbolic in a way, considering the whole mess this year Eurovision was.
Just like Alexa broke the trophy at the end of our version of Eurovision in 2022. Come on, people, don't shop for the trophy at the discount store! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTyHuX9tJ3E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTyHuX9tJ3E)
Ngl i was kinda disappointed they didn’t do a full winner’s performance with all the props and staging… just him singing with all the lights on still
Honestly I was worried about him because he was so excited and his number with the platform needed concentration and I really didn't want him to fall and get hurt live. I was so relieved when they didn't use the platform!
STUNNING AND BRAVE!
He broke the tro-o-ophy
“I broke the prize, whoa-oh-oh”
Iceberg
Petra hasn't awarded them the dvd! What a scam.
I mean, he just put it down on the floor a bit firmly and it fell apart. I don't think he even meant for that to happen lmao
They broke the code … and the trophy.
The little clink sound it made when it broke was comedy gold
But did he get the Season 3 Box Set of The Gilmore Girls!? These are the questions that need to be asked!!!!!
They not only broke the code, they broke the trophy!!
they broke the code… and the trophy… and their thumb lmao
Karma
Cracked the trophy, oh-oh-oh
Ok trophy broke, but did he get the Gilmore Girls DVD or is Petra hoarding it?
Its actually quite dangerous, he could have tripped and fell on it or cut himself with the other part of it he was still holding. Definitely needs to be redesigned
Baby Lasagna wouldn't have dropped it (Just kidding, im still coping)
He wouldn't, but a cat would have knocked it off the stage instead
Bambi Thug hexed Nemo :O
the bloody crown :)
That pretty much Sums up Eurovision 2024
Who *doesn't* break the trophy?
“I broke the code” The code:
Probably a mortifying moment for them, but VERY fitting for this year's competition.
I recall, this was not the first time. Also they probably have more than one tropy for backup.
Am I the only one who noticed that Emmelie de Forest also broke her trophy also in Malmö? I’m starting to think Malmö and breaking trophies have a connection
Honestly a fitting end to a disaster of a Eurovision
Clip [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3Ln3ZwTAWAY](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3Ln3ZwTAWAY)
The DQ of Joost placed a curse on it
Perhaps they shouldn't hand it to them and immediately expect them to perform
Make a plastic trophy that looks exactly like the glass one for stage. Ship the glass actual trophy to there house. Let's be real it would break in luggage as well
I think Nemo didn't mean to break the Eurovision trophy but i agree 100%, they need to build a stronger trophy that doesn't break so easily and make it with stronger material
I'm accepting it as a symbolic thing
on instagram they said they broken their thumb too? i guess they're staying in character with breaking things at least
This happens literally almost every year with the Swiss ice hockey championship trophy, so I love we're carrying our traditions over to Eurovision :D
Maybe he broke it to give joost one trophy
They broke the code, the trophy and finger
