Is there one word or phrase that best describes the emotion of happiness when winning?

Question

Or potentially a word that is used in another language to describe this feeling?

+1 for triumph. The other feelings could be felt without winning something. – S Conroy May 17 '19 at 19:05

There are several ways. For example, "over the moon" is a common expression in the UK.
