Emma Jackson | Triathlon
How long have you been
involved in the sport:
I have been involved in triathlon for
nearly 10 years now and have been
doing some form of sport since I was
6 years old. I absolutely love exercising
and it has always been a part of my
life alongside my study.
Greatest sporting achievement:
Representing Australia at the 2012
Olympic Games and finishing in 8th
place. Plus a bronze medal in the team
relay at the Glasgow Commonwealth
Games and being the 2010 U23 World
Champion.
Top tip for those looking to get
involved in your sport:
Triathlon is a great sport for athletes of
any age or ability. No matter if you’re
a beginner or a more advanced athlete
there is a race and training group for
you. My main tip for anyone wanting
to get involved in triathlon is just give it
a go! Find your local club and contact
them about training sessions and which
ones would be best for you to go along
to. Once you start you will be hooked!
Fun fact about yourself:
I recently got engaged.
Favourite study snack:
Any type of food,
studying always seems
to make me hungry!
