Szaranek: ISL casino final can be biggest yet

Thursday 19th December 2019

MARK SZARANEK believes tomorrow's International Swimming League final could be the biggest event the sport has ever seen - with a tonne of Las Vegas glamour added into the mix.

The 24-year-old from Fife will take his shot at a share of the extravagant prize pot on offer when he lines up for California Condors as the ISL's debut season reaches its climax inside a Nevada casino. The new series has been a real shot in the arm, Szaranek insists, with the £18million lavished by Ukrainian billionaire Konstantin Grigorishin to get all the big names on board set to change the face of swimming forever now that the initial wrinkles have been ironed out.
