Career

In the four years from 2007 to 2010 Jackson took part in 16 ITU competitions and made it into the top ten eleven times. Since she won the $ 12,000 Noosa Triathlon in Australia on November 1, 2009, Emma Jackson has been mentioned in the Australian media in the same breath as the three world-famous Australian triathletes of the same name: Emma Carney , Emma Snowsill and Emma Moffatt .

Emma Jackson's trainer is Stephen Moss of the Pine Rivers Triathlon Club, who also directs the Queensland State's elite triathlon center ( Queensland Academy of Sport ) .

U23 world champion triathlon 2010

In 2010 Emma Jackson also took part in the French club championship series Lyonnaise des Eaux as an elite reinforcement for the TCG 79 Parthenay club . In September she became the U23 triathlon world champion in Hungary. At the Grand Final in La Baule (Triathlon Audencia) on September 18, 2010, just under a week after her World Championship gold race in Budapest, she was 16th, her club fourth. Jackson was therefore always among the three triathlètes classants l'équipe, whose individual ranking determines the rank of their club. By the way, in La Baule all three triathlètes classants from their French club were foreign elite guest stars: Ainhoa ​​Murúa was 11th, Nicky Samuels 13th and Jackson 16.

2012 Summer Olympics

In March 2012 she became the Oceania Champion in the elite class in Devonport.
The Australian Triathlon Association nominated Jackson for a place in the Olympic Games, along with Erin Densham and Emma Moffatt . She took eighth place in London in August 2012.

In July 2014 Emma Jackson successfully defended her victory from the previous year and won the EDF Alpe d'Huez triathlon on the Olympic distance for the second time in France .

In February 2017, the then 25-year-old Oceania champion became a sprint triathlon.

Since November 2018 she has been married to the Australian triathlete Drew Box (* 1989) and they both live in Brisbane .
