Micheal phelps storied career came to an end Saturday - and he went out in style. The swimming star and most decorated Olympian of all time took his final victory lap, winning the 4x100-meter medley relay in London with teammates Matt Grevers, Brendan Hansen and Nathan Adrian in 3:29.35. Phelps' final Olympic medal tally: 22 medals (a record 18 gold, two silver, two bronze). If he were a country, he would be tied for 54th place with India on the all-time list.

During the medal ceremony, Phelps was given a trophy by FINA that was engraved with "Greatest Olympic Athlete of All Time." Japan won silver (3:31.26) and Australia won bronze (3:31.58). The U.S. men have never lost the medley relay at the Olympics and entered this one as the overwhelming favorite. The lineup featured Olympic champs in three of the strokes (backstroker Grevers, butterflyer Phelps and freestyler Adrian) and a bronze medalist and former world record-holder in the other (breaststroker Hansen). The U.S. was in second behind Japan when Phelps, 27, jumped in, but he put the U.S. back in front by the end of his fly leg.
