Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://www.londonrockinrollers.co.uk:
We are a roller derby league based in London. We are full members of WFTDA and UKRDA. One of the oldest leagues in Europe, the London Rockin’ Rollers played the UK’s first Interleague scrimmage with the Birmingham Blitz Dames and Europe’s first Interleague bout against Stuttgart Valley Roller Girlz. Three Rockin’ Rollers and one Referee played and officiated at the first ever Roller Derby World Cup in 2011. Since then there has been many a Rockin’ Roller skater who participated for their national teams at the Roller Derby World Cups in 2014 and more recently in 2018. For anyone watching the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony you could spot 13 Rockin’ Rollers dressed as roller skating NHS nurses (and one dementor) and we have featured in many media articles, documentaries, photo shoots, music videos, live events and more!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Roller_Derby:
Paris Roller Derby is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Paris, France. Founded in February 2010, the league currently consists of a single team which competes against teams from other leagues, and is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA). The league was founded by Inès Habhab, following the release of Whip It! in France (under the title Bliss). As the sport was not established in France, she was assisted by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) in forming a league. In October 2010, the league was accepted as an apprentice member of the WFTDA, and it became a full member of the WFTDA in June 2013. The league has been described as diverse, with French skaters joined by some originally from Finland, Germany, Indonesia and the United States. In May 2011, the team defeated the B-team of the German champions, Stuttgart Valley Rollergirlz. More than half of the skaters for France at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup were from the Paris Rollergirls.
