Hosszu, 30, has put herself at the forefront of the new International Swimming League (ISL) and it's battle with the sport's governing body FINA. Following legal action in December from ISL and a group of swimmers including Hosszu, FINA acknowledged in January that athletes were free to compete in events staged by independent organisers. But at the end of the day, they settled and ISL can start," Hosszu said. Hosszu, also owner of the 'Team Iron' squad, a role she is relishing. Hosszu, nicknamed the 'Iron Lady', said FINA had failed to develop the sport in a way that allowed swimmers to maximise their earning potential and branding opportunities.
