With already 22 medals overall, 18 of them gold, Michael Phelps entered the pool at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with one thing in mind — to grab another Olympic gold medal. And on Sunday, he did it when he and his teammates went into the 4×100-meter freestyle relay and won the gold!
For his first Rio Olympics event, Phelps swam the second leg of the 4×100-meter freestyle relay behind Caeleb Dressel, and before Ryan Held and Nathan Adrian.
