LONDON - Ukrainian energy tycoon Konstantin Grigorishin is leading a revolution in the pool and he has no doubt that swimmers will be the winners.
The league took the plunge in Indianapolis in October, with Grigorishin bankrolling it to the tune of $20 million of which seven million is set aside for athletes and teams in prize money. “This is creating a market for those who want to watch it and new fans as well. I think it will really start to kick off in the next few seasons on a more epic scale,” the 24-year-old told Reuters.
The season, starting after the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, will run from September through to April and could even stretch into May.“Maybe after we will expand even more the number of clubs, but I don’t think we need to have more than 12 in the next few years because we would dilute the level of competition.
“Some official document where we split responsibilities, that we recognise each other, respect both calendars, all of this stuff.”Saturday’s evening event at the Olympic pool, broadcast by the BBC, provided plenty of excitement with a pulsating light show and a lively crowd cheering on teams including Peaty’s London Roar.
“Of course they are receiving prize money and appearance money but for them I think the commercial value is more important.”
