victory bell

Winner's celebratory ring

A victory bell is a bell rung to celebrate a win, especially in sports.

Many schools and universities have designated bells that students ring after athletic victories: The team rushed to ring the victory bell after the championship.

Some rivalries feature a bell as a traveling trophy, awarded to the winner of each contest.
