Olympic cyclist Rohan Dennis has received a suspended sentence over the “tragic accident” that led to the death of his wife, fellow Olympian Melissa Hoskins.
Dennis, 34, appeared at the South Australia District Court on Wednesday after pleading guilty to a charge of committing an aggravated act likely to cause harm.
He was arrested after his wife was struck by his vehicle near their home at Medindie, in Adelaide’s inner north, on December 30, 2023.
Hoskins suffered serious injuries and died in Royal Adelaide Hospital.
The court has been told that the couple had argued over kitchen renovations before Dennis left their home and drove away.
Hoskins had jumped onto the car bonnet shortly before she died.
