Michael Phelps has plans to end his Olympic career as it is time for his retirement. He swims in his last Olympic race on Day 8, in the 4 X 100M Medley Relay.

Perhaps he wants to leave while he's still at the top rather than wait till he's past being effective.

He's been constantly working out and training for 12 years I imagine it's pretty exaughting! :) He reached his peek and made his mark, it's time for him to move on.

Michael Phelps is putting an end to his career, because he's getting older and more tired, and he already got his world record.

hes 27 and maybe one more year would be good. but he's getting old and maybe he doesn't want to have so many medals or something.
