I'm Harshita Chawla, a US Sports writer at EssentiallySports. My journey began as a sports writer for a college magazine, cultivating a rich understanding of content creation in the sports industry. My versatility spans from crafting insightful content on alpine skiing to exploring various facets of gymnastics. As a devoted follower of gymnastics and alpine skiing, my inspiration emanates from the remarkable Simone Biles and Mikaela Shiffrin. Through my writing, I offer readers a gateway into the captivating news and insights surrounding their beloved athletes. I strive to create a diverse and fulfilling narrative that reflects my dedication to the world of sports and beyond. When not immersed in writing stories surrounding the sporting realm, I indulge in my passions for reading and traveling.

Purva Jain is a senior sports writer for Essentially Sports. With her expertise in surfing, Purva has a deep passion for the ocean and a love for the thrill of big waves. Author of ?Gold and Brown?, ?Chasing the North Star? and ?Light Beneath the Shadows?, Purva idolizes Kelly Slater, taking to heart his famous quote, "There's always a wave you want to surf." This mentality has led Purva to explore various sports such as MMA, bodybuilding, and NHL. While Purva draws inspiration from sports icons like Slater and Laird Hamilton, she also looks to action-comedy star Jackie Chan for inspiration. Purva admires Chan's philosophy of finding humor in adversity, and his versatility, which reflects in her own work. From bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger to ice hockey God Wayne Gretzky, Purva's writing covers a wide range of sports and personalities. When she's not putting words to paper, Purva can be found sitting in her quiet corner, looking for the next big wave.

Hello there! I am Nancy Singh. I am a passionate sports enthusiast and a keen spectator of all things Olympics. My writing journey has been deeply influenced by the remarkable achievements of athletes like Mikaela Shiffrin and Kaylee McKeown, whose dedication and excellence serve as a constant source of inspiration for me. I pen insights about various sporting avenues including track &amp; field, swimming, and equestrian sports, all while donning my storytelling lens. Apart from my sports writing pursuits, I have a profound love for the art of poetry and an insatiable appetite for reading books. I believe that the written word has the power to transcend boundaries and create connections with readers from all walks of life. Through my engaging and evocative writing, I endeavor to share my passion for sports, poetry, and literature with the world

I am an avid sports enthusiast who always seeks the adrenaline that comes with fast-paced action in anything and everything. Being an active sportsperson in school who played many different sports, I have always loved having multiple options. At Essentially Sports, I bring my kick for adrenaline and my taste for variety as I write about various avenues of Olympics sports. Be it the high-speed track races, the graceful gymnastic performances, tough and gritty wrestling, or high-intensity basketball and volleyball. I love immersing myself into the backstories of players, and carve out the emotion and meaning behind every win and loss. When I?m not working, I lose myself in intense and mysterious stories portrayed via any medium, with a bias towards anime and webtoons. I love working out in the gym and shooting three-pointers on the basketball court apart from immersing myself in psychology texts.
