Michael Phelps swam his final Olympic lap Saturday night in the 4x100-meter medley relay, appropriately for his 23rd gold medal, and emerged waving goodbye with tears in his eyes. There will never be another Olympian like Phelps, and many have anointed him the greatest Olympian in history. Lets take a photographic look back at some of the most notable moments in Phelps career.2008 Beijing: 100-meter butterflyWith his last powerful stroke, Phelps touched the wall 0.01 seconds before Serbias Milorad Cavic in the 100-meter fly in the 2008 Beijing Olympics to win gold. To the naked eye, it appeared Cavic touched first because he was already reaching for the wall. But Phelps hands were just a fraction of a second quicker in a shocking victory.2000 Sydney: 200 butterflyJust two months past his 15th birthday, Phelps finished fifth in the Olympic final in the 200 butterfly -- a sign of things to come.2004 Athens: 400 individual medleyPhelps won his first individual Olympic gold medal in the 2004 Athens Games, destroying the competition in the 400 IM by 3.55 seconds in a world-record performance.2008 Beijing: 4x100 freestyle relayThe Jason Lezak race. If it werent for Lezak, who chased down Frances Alain Bernard on the back half of the final leg, Phelps quest for eight gold medals would have fallen short. Lezaks split was the fastest in history.2004 Athens: 200 freestyleConsidered by many as the Race of the Century, it featured Phelps, Australias Ian Thorpe, Dutch freestyler Pieter van den Hoogenband and former world-record holder Grant Hackett. Thorpe took the race, followed by van Den Hoogenband, while Phelps grabbed the bronze. Phelps third-place finish ended his hopes of breaking Mark Spitzs 1972 record of seven golds in a single Olympics.2012 London: 4x200 relayThe team of Phelps, Conor Dwyer, Ryan Lochte and Ricky Berens swam to a dominating win with Phelps in the anchor. This was Phelps record-breaking 19th gold medal, making him the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time.2016 Rio: 200 butterflyWe know the image now -- an angry Phelps watching Chad le Clos shadowbox in front of him before their preliminary heats. Phelps got his payback the next day, crushing him for the gold in Rio. The South African did not medal.2015 U.S. Nationals: 200 butterflyThis was the eye opener. Phelps time was the fastest in the world in 2015, surpassing the expectations of Phelps and his coach, Bob Bowman. It was also the fifth-fastest time in history, making Phelps and Bowman realize what might be possible in Rio. Before that, they were wondering whether this could have been a disaster. Bowman called it one of the greatest races of Phelps career.2008 Beijing: 200 freestyleFour years after winning bronze in the same event, Phelps blasted the competition, finishing in record time to beat South Koreas Park Tae-hwan and teammate Peter Vanderkaay and grab the ninth gold medal of his career. Phelps considers this the best race of his career.2003 FINA world championships: 200 butterflyPhelps broke his first world record in the semifinals of the 200 butterfly at the 2003 FINA world championships. He would go on to win four gold medals and two silvers and break five world records at the meet.2007 FINA world championships: 200 butterflyThe most dominating swim in the meet that Bowman considers the best of Phelps career. Phelps gold-medal time of 1:52.09 cut a jaw-dropping 1.62 seconds off the previous world record. He won the race by an astonishing 3.04 seconds.2016 Rio: 4x100 freestyle relayPhelps began his last Olympic games with gold, putting the world on notice that he had not lost a stroke. He had arguably the greatest turn of his career and was the turning point in the race. Cheap Jerseys Free Shpping . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual.
