We want to tell you a story.
The story about how actually roller derby came to Russia. Some of you know that back in 2011 roller derby was founded in Reykjavík, Iceland. But almost no one knows that at that time there was living one of the founders of the first Russian roller derby team (White Night Furies). She saw the birth of roller derby in Reykjavík and got so inspired that brought the idea of it to Russia.
Other things you might know - since 2013 till now there is a league in Saint-Petersburg (two teams already) and since 2016 - Team Russia.
On this World Cup we had a chance to meet out history, meet Roller Derby Iceland and we played a very fun and very warm game. The felling of all this history that has been made and lasts till now cannot be described, but we all have it in our hearts - we are part of the roller derby and we will bring it to other Russian cities.
