Female reporters are becoming more common in sports and quite frankly, why not?  They attract viewers (mostly men) so it's a smart marketing move for sports networks.  

Girls like Erin Andrews are taking over the sports industry with their looks, yet they are more than just eye candy.  All in all, these lovely females know their sports and are willing to learn even more while on the job.

The mold of the female reporter has changed over time.  From Jane Chastain to Ines Sainz and everyone in between, they've all left their mark on the sports world.  

Their appearance has evolved since the beginning yet unfortunately, their scrutiny has remained throughout.  

Here are the 10 most beautiful sports reporters in the world.  

10. Charissa Thompson

Versus's blond bombshell has had an interesting young career to date and her rise to stardom is coming.

Thompson, now the main on-ice NHL reporter for Versus, is more than just another pretty face.  Her tall appearance has NHL stars often looking up at her.

Most certainly, this girl has it all and then some.  She's only 28 and is still growing.  Her ability to report on various sports makes her an even bigger attraction than she already is.  That's a woman right there.    

9. Leeann Tweeden

Leeann Tweeden is a very engaging female in the sports world.  She was formerly a personality on The Best Damn Sports Show Period.  

While Tweeden may not be particular sports savvy, her looks are all that she needs.

Repping the USA is one thing, but she puts it on another level here.

8. Ashley Russell

Ashley Russell is a reporter for the Big Ten Network.  Clearly, the Big Ten is up to "big" things in hiring Russell.

Paired with Melanie Collins, these two certainly give us way more than TEN reasons to watch the Big Ten Network.  

Russell has always had a knack for college sports, as she formerly worked with rivals.com.  This beauty is sure to be around for a while.  Many consider her as a younger version of Erin Andrews.  

7. Mirella Grisales

Mirella Grisales is a Colombian bombshell that has been linked to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Enough said for both of them. There is nothing more to say about Grisales except for that she is absolutely stunning.  

We're pretty sure she reports for some Spanish station for now, but whatever the case, we'd love her on American TV.

6. Molly Qerim

Molly Qerim, currently employed by Versus, has already been around the block.  No, not in that way.

Or maybe, but really I mean that she's worked for CBS and ESPN already in her young career as well.  

Qerim has even won an Emmy for her Fantasy Football coverage on ESPN.  

5. Jenn Sterger

So, this is the woman that turned Brett Favre's life upside down. I'm sure a lot of guys out there wouldn't mind that.

This is Jenn Sterger, dubbed the "hottest college football fan in the world."  

On the side of her being a sports journalist, Sterger is an actor too.  Even though she's from Miami, she's a big-time Florida State Seminoles fan.

Maybe the FSU kickers were looking at Sterger on all those wide kicks in the rivalry.  

4. Melanie Collins

Former Philadelphia Flyer Scottie Upshall is a lucky man.  He's currently dating Collins, the Big Ten Network's biggest addition.  

Collins, formerly of NBA TV, has made her mark on the sports world thus far in her young career.  

Wow. She's really something, this girl, and she's still young with a lot of potential and room for growth in the industry.  

3. Jenn Brown

Go Gators! That's one thing that comes to mind when thinking of the beautiful Jenn Brown.  

This former Florida Gator has seen her career take off.  She's seen all over college sports right now and we have no problem with that. 

ESPN has developed her into a top-notch reporter and she's one of the best looking in the business to boot.  Men will certainly be tuning into ESPNU even more now than ever.  

2. Ines Sainz

Ines Sainz's beauty or...booty has been the center of controversy as of late.  She made NFL players go crazy over her while in their locker room and is a great asset to the sports world of her native Mexico.  

She's interviewed some of the top athletes in the world from Kobe Bryant to Roger Federer and many others in between.

Sainz is more than just another beautiful face to fans, but she is incredible to look at as well. 

1. Erin Andrews

The most popular sports reporter is also the hottest on this list.  Erin Andrews is the face of female sports reporting and has become a major part of the ESPN presentation for many reasons.

Her looks are among these reasons, but just her all-around knowledge is admirable. 

While "EA" is getting up there in age, she is still amazing and will continue to hold her job for quite some time.
