The finale was a formality, more a coronation than a contest. Michael Phelps headed into the retirement the only way imaginable: with another gold medal.
KEEPING TRACK? Luckily for you, we are. Updated medal count. Reclaiming the lead with his trademark butterfly stroke, the one most people first saw in Sydney a dozen years ago, Phelps won the 18th gold of a mind-boggling career in the 4x100-meter medley relay Saturday

Well, I’ve only got one thing to say to Mister Phelps.
You didn’t win those medals. Someone else made that happen.

I see that the Williams sisters are competing.
How can a professional player compete?
