The International Roller Cup was held in Modena, Italy on December 4 and Victoria’s Jayson Sutcliffe was there as guest commentator for ESPN3 covering the show alongside USA Roller Sports Artistic Director Jane Wojnarowsky. The show was broadcast live across the USA and online, and also attracted a capacity crowd at the Palapannini Stadium with more than 3,000 spectators. The IRC consists of 16 of the best skaters selected from around the world and they compete in teams of four for the grand prize. They are given music only 48hrs prior to the show and are required to make up the routines and group medleys upon arrival. Proving to be a hit, the format has been in production for the past three years with Italian celebrity host Paolo Belli (host of Dancing with the Stars). Sutcliffe will return in 2012 as commentator for the cup and hopes the show will expand even further and come to Australia in the future.
