hmmdensity of gold 19.3 g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter)
world cup is 36.5cm high, and the base has a diameter of 13cm
call it a cylinder so 3.14 x 6.5 x 6.5 x 36.5 (cross sectional areaxlength=volume)
x the density gives 93kg
the given weight of the world cup is 6.175kg

As the base is the widest point, that's probably about right.It was just odd thinking that such a small thing could weigh more than a person.
