In sports there are three podiums for the first three top positions.

Based on it, in Persian we have some phrases (metaphors) like:

> 
> The success podium = Success 
> 
> 
> Reaching the success podium = Succeeding 
> 
> 
> Standing on the success podium = Succeeding
> 
> 
> The pride podium = Success 
> 
> 
> 

I would like to know if such phrases are meaningful in English or if there are some equivalent phrases for them?
