Sports fans have two options for entertainment in their favorite sports. Either during the course of the game itself or afterward when a report is created. For the latter, the tedious task of retelling the events in a sporting competition between two opposing teams is primarily the job of the sports journalist. It is up to them to serve their report(s) in such a way that their listeners/viewers can enjoy it as if they had never experienced the event live. This alone is no easy task. It takes someone who is well versed in this profession to be able to repeat such a performance. One such person who does this well and also perfectly conducts the interviews before and after the match is Alanna Rizzo, about whom you will learn a lot in the following.

Family

As for her parents, Alanna Rizzo was born the daughter of Maria Medina (mother), but her father’s name is still hard to find. However, we have collected some things about him based on the articles Alanna wrote about him on Instagram. One of these facts we know is that he is an adventurous person. The journalist adores her father very much, and on Father’s Day 2016 she wished him a happy Father’s Day with a photo collage. Similarly, Janel wished her Italian grandmother a happy centenary with an Instagram photo, which she published on August 30, 2018. The other well-known members of her family are her two brothers, one of whom is named Anthony Rizzo.

In case you are wondering if it is the same Anthony Rizzo who plays baseball for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB): Yes, it is the same one. We learned this from a Twitter post (@alannarizzo) that Alanna wrote on August 8, 2014, congratulating Anthony on his birthday. They are not only brothers and sisters, they have the same birthday and do the same sports. One as a reporter, the other as a baseball player.
