Despite the fact that his forenames are usually hyphenated in official results, and by the British Biathlon Union, 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.
Jackson retired after the 2014–15 season.
