Rio Olympics 2016, Swimming: Michael Phelps' epic post-match celebrations show everyone who's boss!

Phelps won his 20th and 21st gold medals today

Already the most decorated Olympian of all time, swimming icon Michael Phelps today added to his tally of Olympic medals, winning his 20th and 21st gold medals today in the men's 200m butterfly, followed by another in the 4x200m freestyle relay with team USA.

The legend, whose total medal tally exceeds that of many countries in the history of the Olympic Games, celebrated in style after his win. And he’s had some brilliant celebrations over the years.

Here’s a look:

“I did it!”
“Who’s the best?”
Phelps’ briiliance is absolutely undisputed

The Olympian came out of a self-imposed retirement after declaring his ‘disappointment’ with the state of American swimming. It looks as though he has almost single-handedly turned that problem on its head. Rio 2016 marks his final Olympic games, but it seems unlikely that the many records he has set over his career will be broken soon.
