Rio 2016: Phelps wins 19th Olympic gold

Michael Phelps won a record 19th Olympic gold medal as the U.S. on Sunday clinched the men’s 4×100 meters freestyle relay title of the Rio Games.

The 31-year-old came to Brazil as the most decorated Olympian in history and has now won 23 medals at five Games.

He swam the second leg for the U.S., who won in a time of three minutes 9.92 seconds, with France second in 3:10.53 and Australia third in 3:11.37.
