exult

Revel in victory

Exult is to feel or express triumphant joy—not just happiness, but the elation of victory or success.

You exult in an achievement or over a defeated rival.

The word carries a sense of open celebration, sometimes bordering on gloating: The fans exulted when their team won the championship.
