The first Roller Derby World Cup kicks off today, bringing 'the greatest women's empowerment movement' to a new audience Odds are you haven't heard of roller derby and if you have, it's almost certainly not quite what you think it is.

According to Ziv Kruger, a member of the organising committee for the first Roller Derby World Cup, which is kicking off on Thursday in Toronto, "roller derby is the greatest women's empowerment movement on the face of the planet Earth".
