Hosszu last month called on fellow swimmers to band together ahead of the 2017 World Championships in Hungary. The 28 year-old Hungarian, who won three Olympic golds in Rio, earned more than $1 million in the past three seasons as she thoroughly dominated the FINA professional series. Alongside Hosszu, the 30 members of GAPS include 15 Olympic champions from all continents, she wrote. We expect swimmers to be treated as equal partners... in important decisions about the future of our sport," Hosszu said. Other groups have also challenged FINA for the governance of the sport, including the World Swimming Association.
