Team roster
2017
As of November 2017, Team Argentina is composed of the following active skaters:
In April 2016, Team Argentina underwent a major restructuring with new open Tryouts. The following skaters passed the tryouts and became part of the national team, road to the 2018 Roller Derby World Cup in Manchester.
Several team members struggled to obtain appropriate equipment in advance of the World Cup; a benefit was organised by the Derby News Network, and various sponsors donated kit to the team.[3] However, Nina Brava, one of the team's skaters, claimed that Argentina had an advantage in that they had been able to practise together for more hours than their opponents.[4]
After the group stage of the World Cup, Argentina were ranked twelfth, with no wins. They then lost narrowly to Team Scotland, by 114 points to 91, thereby finishing the tournament in last place.[5]
