Michael Phelps ended on a golden note yesterday as the United States rounded out the swimming World Championships' world record total at a staggering 43 with a medley relay triumph.
Phelps, whose campaign began with a shock defeat in the 200m freestyle, bounced back to win the 100m and 200m butterfly, and the United States won all three men's relays to give America's superstar a creditable cache of five gold after all.
"I think it's not how you start, it's how you finish," Phelps said. "For us to end on this note, going into next year, it's a great way to finish."
The meet fittingly concluded with the Americans' world record swim of 3min 27.28sec, an improvement on the mark set by the US in winning Olympic gold in Beijing.
Meanwhile, USA's Ryan Lochte won his fourth gold here as he won the 400m individual medley clocking 4min 07.01 seconds.
