What a way to go out. 
 Michael Phelps ended his Olympic career with a a special lifetime achievement award presented by FINA, the grand pooh bah of award givers. â€˜The Greatest Olympian Athlete of All Time."

Not a bad way to retire considering the circumstances at the beginning of the games. It was a slow start but ended with a big bang with him winning 22 record breaking medals,eighteen of them gold. It was moment that only a mother like Debbie Phelps could dream of. Her smiles beamed like the gold her son held in his hands afterwards.  

Now Michael Phelps is ready to travel with friends and live life on a less competitive edge. His luggage will most likely be Louis Vuitton guessing from his later ads for the company.

Moving on with no regrets he's handing the torch over...

Who will be the next Olympic wonder boy that can top all his glory? 

Is it even possible?
