208 - 2x4 Team Osom 2026 WFTDA Champs Preview

From practicing under a highway in Buenos Aires to earning a spot on roller derby's biggest stage, 2x4 Roller Derby Team Osom's journey is one of resilience, determination, and community.

In this episode, I spoke with Obrero, Ladrillo, and Persefone of Team Osom as they prepare to compete at the WFTDA Championships in Malmö, Sweden. They share what it's like building a world-class team with limited resources, battling long commutes, and traveling to find high-level competition.

The conversation explores the mental side of competition, the team's emotional preparation for the Latin America WFTDA Regional tournament, and the lessons they're taking into Champs. They also talk about embracing their identity as "super mini players" and proving that heart, adaptability, and teamwork can overcome any obstacle.

As the first Latin American team to be invited to WFTDA Championships and making their second appearance at this competition, Team Osom hopes to represent their region with pride and show the world exactly why they belong among the best.

If you're inspired by their story, please consider supporting their journey by sharing their GoFundMe and following them on social media. Every share helps bring them one step closer to Malmö.
