Michael Phelps and the U.S. 400-meter medley relay team closed the fastest meet in swimming history with an appropriate finish Sunday night with the 43rd world record posted.
Phelps earned his fifth gold medal of a world championships that showed he's still got plenty of motivation, even after winning a record eight times at the Beijing Olympics.
Also Sunday, Ryan Lochte won his fourth gold medal of the championships and Germany's Britta Steffen matched her 50-100 freestyle sweep in Beijing.
No such glory for 42-year-old Dara Torres. The senior citizen of the pool finished last in her only individual final at the Foro Italico.
A pair of world records fell in non-Olympic events.
Liam Tancock broke his own world record to win the 50 backstroke and Russia's Yuliya Efimova set a world record while edging American Rebecca Soni in the 50 breaststroke.

Phelps and Mr. Bowman are cry babies and hypocrats of the first order. OH 2008 winning in a superior "LZR Racer" was OK for Phelps & Bowman but losing to Biedermann who swam in a new "Arena" suit is now wrong??? US Americans are always great sportsmen! But only if they are winning.LoL!!!
