One last ovation, one last trophy, one last ceremony for Michael Phelps.

FINA president Julio Maglione honored Phelps with a special individual ceremony on the final night of his record-breaking Olympic career. Phelps finishes his career with a record 22 career medals and 18 golds.

Maglione handed Phelps a silver trophy to commemorate his brilliant career, and the touching gesture leaves just one question unanswered:

Shouldn't the trophy have been gold, too?
