Phelps savoring splashy farewell

Michael Phelps is giving himself one last chance to get his Olympic farewell right, after falling in love with swimming all over again.

It seems an odd aim for the owner of a record 22 Olympic medals, 18 of them gold.

Four gold medals and two silver in London in 2012 seemed a fitting enough finale to a career that peaked with Phelps' stunning eight-gold performance in Beijing.
