According to Cortelainen, who transmits TASS, the photographs on the Internet are not the original trophy, but a copy of it.
He noted that the original is slightly different from the copy that the team received in the state that is visible in the pictures: without the bottom and part of the metal parts on the base.
The manager of the Finnish national team also explained that the team held the original cup for winning the world championship only on the ice after the final, and then in the locker room, after which it was returned to the organizers of the tournament.
The Finnish national team for the third time in history has become a world champion, beating the Canadian team in the 2019 World Cup final.
Earlier it became known the composition of the 2020 World Cup hockey teams.
