Disita Sikdar is a Senior Writer for EssentiallySports’ Olympics division, specializing in gymnastics and wrestling. She has a talent for writing about record-breaking moments, world leads, and everything that can make it into the history books. By the time Mondo Duplantis hugged his partner after his Olympic win and it aired, Disita was already halfway through her piece, capturing the kind of moment that says everything without needing a word. She was a key part of the 24/7 Paris Olympics coverage team, contributing to real-time reporting and feature writing during one of the busiest news cycles. Her ability to balance speed and depth earned her a place in the EssentiallySports Journalistic Excellence Program, where she continued to refine her skills. Among her standout work are an ES Exclusive on Simone Biles’ coach and choreographer, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the sport’s biggest star, and coverage highlighting Biles’ dominance in men’s and women’s gymnastics, cited from The Ohio Star.
