United States swimming legend and 23-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps took on a new challenge on Sunday when he appeared on Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle.

Phelps' competitors on the live show were John Legend, Olivia Munn and Terry Crews. The 31-year-old Baltimore native performed last and emerged wearing a hoodie like Eminem before breaking into the rapper's 2002 hit "Lose Yourself," which appeared on the 8 Mile soundtrack.

Phelps actually had company from the Team USA contingent as gold-medal winning gymnasts Simone Biles and Aly Raisman (and her parents) appeared during Olivia Munn's portion.

Here's how Phelps ended his performance, which is basically the same way he finished his Olympic swimming career (probably).
