Disita Sikdar is a Senior Olympic Sports Writer at EssentiallySports, specializing in track and field, gymnastics, wrestling, equestrian, and alpine skiing. She has covered the 2024 Paris Olympics live and is known for her in-depth reporting on Simone Biles, including covering exclusive interviews with Biles’ coach and choreographer. Her love for American sports started with WWE’s theatrical showdowns and grew into an appreciation for the raw grit and strategy of UFC, a sport that, for her, is the ultimate unscripted drama where every moment counts. Disita is drawn to the adrenaline of track and field and the split-second moments that make history. She also finds the grace and risk of gymnastics equally compelling, capturing stories that go beyond scores to show the pressure athletes face on the beam and in life. Disita also has a passion for content strategy, understanding how the right headline and timing can make a story impossible to scroll past. Certified through EssentiallySports’ Journalistic Excellence Program and a co-author of a literary anthology, she brings a unique narrative edge to her sports journalism.
