Serena Williams gets a Golden Slam, beats Sharapova in tennis final.
When it was over, Michael Phelps hugged his teammates, then headed off the deck for the final time.
Reclaiming the lead with his trademark butterfly stroke, Phelps won the 18th gold of an unparalleled career when he helped the U.S. win the 4x100-meter medley relay Saturday night.
Phelps retires with twice as many golds as any other Olympian, and his total of 22 medals is easily the best mark, too.
"It's been a great career," he said. "It's been a great journey. I can't be any more happy than I am."
