Emma Jackson (triathlete)
Emma Jackson is an Australian professional triathlete, U23 World Champion of the year 2010, and 2009 Junior World Championships silver medalist.
From 2007 to 2010 Jackson took part in 16 ITU competitions and achieved 11 top ten positions. On 1 November 2009 she won the Australian Noosa Triathlon and since then for Australian media it is commonplace to mention Emma Jackson together with the famous three Australian triathlon Emmas: Emma Carney, Emma Snowsill, and Emma Moffatt.
Emma Jackson is coached by Stephen Moss, the head coach of the state run high performance centre called Queensland Academy of Sport, and represents Moss' Pine Rivers Triathlon Club.
In 2010, Emma Jackson also represented the French club TCG 79 Parthenay in the prestigious Club Championship Series Lyonnaise des Eaux. At the Triathlon de Paris, she placed 2nd and her club placed 4th, at Tourangeaux she placed 9th and her club placed 5th, and at the Grand Final in La Baule, immediately after her U23 World Championship gold medal, she placed 16th and her club 4th. Thus Jackson was always among the three triathlètes classants l'éqipe, i.e. the three best athletes on whose results the club ranking is based. At the triathlon in La Baule, TCG 79 Parthenay had no French triathletes at all among its three classants: Ainhoa Murua placed 11th, Nicky Samuels 13th and Jackson 16th.
