Jess Stenson just ran Australia’s fastest marathon... can she do it again after baby no. 3?

Just 11 months after giving birth to her second child, Jess Stenson's 13th place at Paris 2024 clocked one of the fastest ever Olympic marathons by an Aussie woman. A year later in Valencia, she claimed the Australian record with a time of 2:21:24.

Jess is an athlete at the very peak of her powers, pausing her career to have baby number three!
