Michael Phelps Ends Historic Career in Rio

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian in history, went out on a high note Saturday night in Rio capping off a historic career the likes will most likely not be repeated for quite a long time if ever.

Phelps capped off his final Rio competition with a gold-medal earning performance in the 400-meter medley relay. He insisted it would be his last Olympic race, although he also said the same after concluding the 2012 Games in London only to emerge from retirement years later.

However, Phelps told "Today" reporter Matt Lauer "I Mean it this time. I'm done, done done".

The 31 year old swimmer will take home five gold medals and one silver when he leaves Rio. His performances cemented his title as the greatest Olympian of all time, winning 28 medals throughout his career, 23 of them gold.

Phelps said he's looking forward to the next chapter of his life. Which includes plans to keep building a family with his fiance Nicole. They already have a 3 month old son named Boomer. Phelps told his USA Swimming teammates that he's never far away if they need him for anything.

Perhaps a spot on the relay team in Tokyo 2020? We shall see...

Congrats Michael!
