bad winner
Ungracious in triumph
A bad winner is someone who gloats, taunts, or behaves ungraciously after winning.
Where a sore loser handles defeat poorly, a bad winner handles victory poorly—rubbing it in, mocking opponents, or excessive celebration at others' expense: Nobody likes playing with him because he's such a bad winner.
