Melissa Hoskins, a celebrated Australian cyclist and two-time Olympian, tragically lost her life this past weekend when she was struck by a vehicle near her residence on the outskirts of Adelaide. She was 32 years old. Authorities have detained her husband, ex-professional cyclist Rohan Dennis, charging him in connection with her death, as reported by Australian news outlets.
The Australian Olympic Committee expressed profound sorrow regarding Hoskins’s untimely demise. “We are deeply saddened by the loss of Melissa,” the committee conveyed through a tweet. “Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to Melissa’s family, friends, and the entire cycling community during this profoundly challenging time,” they added.
