Sportsround reporter Lizzie

Sportsround presenter Lizzie Greenwood
What is your favourite sport?
I do loads of sports like snowboarding, horse riding, squash, golf etc but my favourite is HOCKEY.

Who is your sporting hero?
Pippa Funnell, GB 3-day Eventer

Which is your favourite sports team?
My hockey team!

What's the best sporting event you've been to?
That's tough because I've been to some amazing events but probably just for the incredible memory of being there when it happened - it was when jockey Frankie Dettori won all horse 7 races in one day at Ascot. I was working there for the BBC and Frankie hugged me after his 7th win.

Which team do you think will win the football World Cup in 2006 (honestly!)?
I'd love to say England, but I really don't think the team is mentally strong enough. They proved that at Euro 2004. It'll probably be Brazil.

Can you remember where you were when Jonny Wilkinson kicked the winning drop goal in the Rugby World Cup final in 2003?
Yes I remember it exactly. I was in my sitting room wearing an England rugby shirt, jumping up and down. I then went for a walk around where I live with a stupid grin on my face.

Which sport did you enjoy playing most at school?
Hockey. I played it before school indoors, at lunchtime and after school outside.

And which sport were you really bad at?
I like to think I'm naturally OK at most sports but I guess I was worst at volleyball. It hurts my wrists!

What hobbies do you have?
Sport, sport and more sport! My life revolves around sport - and my rabbit!

What is your favourite film (sporting or otherwise)?
E.T.

Why did you become a journalist/presenter and how did you get here?
It's a very long story but I always enjoyed telling people stories. I wanted to find out the truth about stuff and as anyone who knows me will tell you - I like talking aloud!

Who is the best/most famous person you've interviewed?
For Newsround I've met loads of top stars like Brad Pitt and Will Smith. But the best are all sports stars like Michael Schumacher and Jonny Wilkinson.
