fist pumping
Triumphant arm thrust
Fist pumping is thrusting a clenched fist into the air, usually repeatedly, as a gesture of triumph, excitement, or celebration.
Athletes fist pump after scoring; fans fist pump at concerts.
The gesture can be subtle and personal or exaggerated and performative: There was a lot of fist pumping in the locker room after the win.
