Glenn Mitchell
Sports Broadcaster
Glenn Mitchell joined ABC Sport in Perth in January 1990. Since then, he has become one of Australia’s most experienced and versatile sports broadcasters.
He has commentated at the last three Olympics, principally covering cycling, calling seven Australian gold medals. Glenn has also covered cycling at the past three Commonwealth Games. He called the track and field on ABC-TV’s coverage of the 1996 and 2000 Paralympic Games.
He has hosted the ABC’s coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies at Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games.
One of ABC Sport’s senior cricket commentators, Glenn has broadcast over 110 Tests and one-day internationals, covering seven overseas tours against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India and New Zealand.
He has called over 750 football matches in the AFL and WAFL (on radio and television). He has also broadcast men’s and women’s NBL basketball on both television and radio.
Glenn has also commentated at world championships for cycling, triathlon, motocross and water polo, and has broadcast a host of other sports including tennis, hockey, golf, boxing and netball.
In November 2000, he was awarded the Australian Sports Medal by the Governor-General for his services to sport.
Glenn is married to ABC sports presenter, Karen Tighe.
Clint Wheeldon
Sports broadcaster
As a youngster, a complete lack of ability and an ongoing run of injuries ended Clint's faint hopes of becoming a professional sportsman.
So he turned his attention to covering sport in the media instead and discovered even he couldn't break a collarbone in a press box and his vocal chords were less likely to be strained than his hamstrings.
For more than a decade, Clint worked as a Sports Reporter both in radio and television and he has commentated on AFL, WAFL, rugby league, soccer and basketball for a number of different media organisations.
Clint joined ABC Sport in Perth as a sports broadcaster in 2007.
His working highlights include covering the Sydney Olympics and two AFL Grand Finals.
Sports tragic, he took five weeks off work in 2006 to follow the Socceroos around during their World Cup quest.
