Sean Ingle is a British sports journalist. He is currently the chief sports reporter and columnist for The Guardian and The Observer.[1] He was previously the newspaper's athletics correspondent and online sports editor.

Early life and education

[edit]

Ingle was born in Luton, UK. He was educated at Luton Sixth Form College before graduating from the University of Sheffield with a first-class degree in Political Science and Government in 1997.

Career

[edit]

Ingle began his career in journalism as a sports writer for EMAP in 1998. He joined The Guardian a year and a half later in the same capacity until he was promoted to deputy sports editor and then sports editor of the website in 2004.[2] He also launched the popular podcast Football Weekly, which was nominated for a Sony award.

Ingle was posted to Germany to cover the 2006 World Cup for The Guardian. In Baden-Baden, while at a restaurant with colleague Jonathan Wilson, he was bitten on the buttocks by a German Shepherd; the dog bit him so hard that he bled.[3]

He remained as the sports editor of the website until after the 2012 Olympics in London, when he was named a senior sports writer and Athletics Correspondent, as he returned to full-time reporting duties for The Guardian, Observer and the website. He also began writing a weekly column on issues in sport.

Ingle has broken several high-profile stories, including the revelation that four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome failed a doping test during the Vuelta a España road race in September 2017.[4] His report, co-authored with Martha Kelner, won Scoop of the Year at the 2017 British Sports Journalism Awards.[5]

He was named Specialist Correspondent of the Year at the 2016 and 2017 British Sports Journalism Awards.[6]
