Sports World News of Sunday, 14 August 2016Source: BBCPhelps bows out of Games with gold in men's relayMichael PhelpsMichael Phelps won his 23rd Olympic gold in what looks like being his final Games, as Britain took silver in the men's 4x100m medley relay. Phelps, 31, secured his fifth gold of Rio 2016 when he teamed up with Ryan Murphy, Cody Miller and Nathan Adrian to set a new Games record of three minutes 27.95 seconds. Kathleen Baker, Lilly King, Dana Vollmer and Simone Manuel clocked 3:53.13 to win USA's 1,000th gold at a summer Games. "Getting off the bus and walking to the pool tonight, I pretty much felt myself starting to crack," said Phelps. But a blistering breaststroke leg from 100m gold medallist and world record holder Adam Peaty, whose split was 56.59, saw Britain move into first place.
