Michael Phelps

Amazing career.

"...He has won a total of 71 medals in major international long-course competition, 57 gold, 11 silver, and three bronze spanning the Olympics, the World, and the Pan Pacific Championships. Phelps's international titles and record-breaking performances have earned him the World Swimmer of the Year Award six times and American Swimmer of the Year Award eight times. His unprecedented Olympic success in 2008 earned Phelps Sports Illustrated magazine's Sportsman of the Year award..."


His final Olympic swim (video) and a gold for USA in the 400 Medley .
Phelps retires with 18 gold medals and 22 overall, more than any other Olympian in the history of the Games.
