[Blackwell:] Michael Phelps says he means it this time that his Olympic career is over.
[Paul:] Endorsements aren't, I'm sure. After this after this Olympics. Andy Scholes is with us.
[Andy Scholes, Cnn Sports Anchor:] Yes. You know, guys, this is a little bittersweet watching last night. You also will see Phelps win his fifth gold medal in Rio but a little sad because we may never see an athlete as amazing as Phelps ever again. Phelps picking up his 23rd gold medal of his career and his final race last night. He swam the butterfly leg of the four by 100 meter medley relay. And at 31 years old, Phelps defied the odds at these Olympics, dominating what is a young person's sport. You know, a group of fans in the crowd they were chanting at Phelps, four more years after the race, but the most decorated Olympian of all time. It was pretty clear this was his last lap in the Olympic pool.
[Michael Phelps, Most Decorated Olympian In History:] I'm just ready for something different. My swimming career might be over, but I have the future ahead of me to kind of turn the page and start whatever I want. It's not the end of a career. It's the beginning of a new journey. And just looking forward to that.
[Scholes:] Team USA also made Olympic history last night by becoming the first nation to win 1,000 gold medals in summer games. The women's four by 100 meter medley relay team were the ones to put America over the top. They beat Australia to the wall by almost two seconds in that race. Now if we look at current medal count Team USA opening up a pretty big lead. They got 24 golds. In second place is China. All right. Gymnast Simone Biles expecting to add to the American gold rush later today. She's looking for her third gold medal of the games as she's going to take part in the final of the individual events which begin today. Biles a favorite to win today's vault final but she actually did not qualify for the uneven bars today which is today's other event. American Madison Kocian had the best qualifying score, making her the favorite to win that. And finally, guys, it looks like the Olympic officials have finally given up on trying to clean the green water
[Paul:] Oh no.
[Scholes:] They're actually going to drain the nearly one million gallon out of the pool used for water polo and synchronized swimming. The diving pool however which turned bright green with algae last week is being treated with chemicals. And the divers actually say that the green water it helps them. They say it gives them a little contrast, you know, when they're flipping through the air. They can tell
[Paul:] Really?
[Scholes:] They can tell where the pool is compared to the blue sky.
[Blackwell:] That makes sense.
[Paul:] Yes, it does make sense. But you know what? If that's the biggest problem they have in Rio after everything that was anticipated...
[Scholes:] Absolutely.
[Blackwell:] Yes, I think that's the truth.
[Paul:] ... how about it? Andy, thank you so much.
[Blackwell:] All right.
[Paul:] All right.
[Blackwell:] Milwaukee as we said this morning on edge following a deadly police shooting. Multiple buildings after that. And police cars set on fire. The violence erupted after an officer killed a man police say was armed with a hand gun. We're going to talk more about that breaking news in a moment.
