Japanese sport commentary, "medal rush"

I love the expression "medal rush" that Japan's sports commentators seem to love throwing around during the Olympics! I had never heard that expression until I came to Japan. But then again, I am from a country, Ireland, that rarely experiences a "medal rush"! Maybe in other countries that term is also used.

In Japanese, メダルラッシュ (medaru rasshu) literally means “a rush of medals”. In other words, a rapid series of medal wins in a short time. It’s used when: several Japanese athletes win medals on the same day, or multiple medals come in quick succession during a major event. So, it is used often during the Olympics, as well as events such as the World Games and Asian Games. It carries a sense of excitement, momentum, and national pride — almost like a “golden wave.”

Japanese media loves compact, energetic katakana phrases, especially for sports. They are punchy, rhythmic and easy to repeat. Had you heard the term "medal rush" before you came to Japan? Do they use the term "medal rush" in your home country?
