我要评论Michael Phelps left as he began: Winning. 。
The most decorated athlete in Olympic history won gold in Rio de Janeiro in what he insists will be his last-ever competitive swimming event. 。
Taking out the 400 medley relay Saturday, Phelps and his teammates, Ryan Murphy, Cody Miller and Nathan Adrian, dominated from the starting gun. 。

His mother, Debbie, and fiancé, Nicole Johnson, watching in the stands with tears in their eyes. Phelps' son Boomer, quickly becoming a social media star himself, was also there to witness his father's triumph. 。
Nevertheless, Phelps remained characteristically understated as he took a lap of honor with his team around the pool, U.S. flag in tow. 。
Twitter lit up with tributes, not least from the White House. 。
Thanks for signing up! 。

It wasn't an entirely smooth run at the 2016 Olympics. Phelps was held off from winning gold in his last Olympic individual race Friday night by 21-year-old Joseph Schooling from Singapore, who beat his idol in the 100-meter butterfly.。
Phelps has maintained he won't be coming out of retirement again for Tokyo in 2020. "I'm not going four more years and I'm standing by that," he said. 。
"I've been able to do everything I've ever put my mind to in the sport and after 24 years in the sport, I'm happy with how things finished." 。
The swimmer debuted at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney at the young age of 15. He went home empty handed, but kicked off a 16-year campaign that would leave him with 23 gold medals and 28 medals overall. 。
In a Facebook video posted before the event, Phelps insisted Saturday's race was the last of his career. "Go for 30 medals in Tokyo? I don't think so boys and girls. This is over. This is it," he said. 。
Plenty of Americans and swim fans around the world will be wishing it wasn't so.。
