WCR fans have twice as many reasons to cheer at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup in Toronto! Team USA and Team Argentina both have WCR All-Star representation; Varla Vendetta will be skating with Team USA and Sargentina will be skating with Team Argentina.

Coming in #1 in the north central region, the WCR All-Stars took to the track on day 2 of the WFTDA Championships, facing off against the Kansas City Roller Warriors. With high hopes of beating their first opponent and moving forward in tournament play, it was not meant to be as Kansas City pulled out a win against the All-Stars.

Tournament season comes to an end this weekend, and the Windy City Rollers want to share the excitement with you all weekend long!

The Windy City Roller All-Stars are heading to Colorado this weekend to participate in WFTDA's Championship tournament, Continental Divide & Conquer! Augmenting their already intense practice schedule, the All-Stars have been taking extra measures to prepare themselves for the altitude of the Denver area, including using weighted backpacks and apparatuses that make breathing more of a difficulty.

Starting the evening with a breakdance fight, the WCR All-Stars played host to the Tampa Tantrums at the UIC Pavilion on Saturday and sent them home with an incredibly lopsided win, beating them 196-42.

The Second Wind faced off against the Bleeding Heartland Rollergirls Flatliners on Saturday at the UIC Pavilion in what looked like a narrow loss but turned into an exciting come from behind win. Second Wind beat Bleeding Heartland by a final score of 92-87, a very small margin considering Bleeding Heartland played furiously and Second Wind was down their high-flying co-captain, Ska Face.
