Phelps 2016 Olympics, Michael Phelps was in Rio last week, but he was only there to pick up an award for past accomplishments, not set the stage for new ones.

Phelps was in Brazil to pick up the Exceptional Achievement Award at the Laureus World Sports Awards last week, and he took the time to reiterate that his remarkable swimming career was at an end.

“It has been an amazing career and it is crazy to think that it is over,” Phelps said, while accepting his award. “But I’ve done everything that I wanted to do in sport.”

“I wanted to change swimming and take it to a level, and I have. But I will continue to be a part of sport and help grow sports. That is a goal and a passion of mine.”
