Kate's dithered in depicting sport (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

figure skating

'sport' is the definition.
(figure skating is a kind of sport)

'kate's dithered in depicting' is the wordplay.
'dithered' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'dithering' mean this).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'depicting' becomes 'figuring'.
'kates' with letters rearranged gives 'eskat'.
'eskat' going inside 'figuring' is 'FIGURE-SKATING'.

(Another definition for figure skating that I've seen is " Winter Olympics event".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
