This week, I chat with Adelaide Roller Derby’s Ankle Grinder and Truffles about their journey back to Global Champs. They share stories of discovering derby, building a competitive team in geographically isolated Australia, and the culture of friendship, trust, and belief that makes Adelaide so strong.

They also take us inside their thrilling 15-point win over Brisbane, their emotional ticket to Champs, and the preparation that got them there. This time around, Adelaide isn’t heading to Champs with imposter syndrome—they know they belong, and they’re going to compete to win.

Hear about their goals for Champs, their mission to represent Oceania, and why being a great teammate may be just as important as what happens on the track.
