Lee Steve Jackson (born 20 April 1980) is an English former biathlete. [1]

Career

He originally started competing in the sport whilst serving in the military. [2]

Born in Stockton-on-Tees, Jackson joined the Royal Artillery in 1999 and currently holds the rank of bombardier in 16 Regiment RA. [3] He competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics for Great Britain. His best finish was 55th, in the sprint. He also finished 56th in the pursuit and 66th in the individual [4]

His best performance at the Biathlon World Championships was 19th, in the 2011 mixed relay. His best solo performance in a World Championships was 39th, in the 2015 individual race. The World Championships also count towards the Biathlon World Cup, making this his best solo World Cup result as well. [1]

His best Biathlon World Cup finish was 16th, achieved in two men's relay events. [1]

Despite the fact that his forenames are usually hyphenated in official results, and by the British Biathlon Union, [3] there is actually no hyphen in Jackson's name – this anomaly came about when his coach first entered him in international competition and added the hyphen between his first and middle names. [2] [5]

Jackson retired after the 2014–15 season. [6]
