Michael Phelps of the USA continued to etch his name into history with his 22nd Olympic gold medal and becomes the first man or woman to win the same event four times, let alone four times in a row.

Thiago Pereira of Brazil got off to an early lead, touching first in the fly to back turn with a split of 24.74, but was unable to hold off the backstroke talent of the USA’s Ryan Lochte. Phelps hung close with them, but waited until the breaststroke leg to make his move, quickly inching ahead to turn first for the final leg.

Phelps continued to extend his lead in the final 25-meters to finish close to two seconds ahead of the competition, securing his 22nd gold medal and a four-peat of the 200 individual medley.
