Rohan Dennis was charged with causing death by dangerous driving after his wife, two-time Olympian R Melissa Hoskins, was killed in a crash in Adelaide, Australia, last Saturday.
South Australia Police said that Hoskins was hit by a car on Saturday evening in north Adelaide. She suffered serious injuries, was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, but died overnight.
The 32-year-old competed in the team pursuit at two Olympics for Australia, winning gold in the same event at the 2015 World Championships. She also competed on the road for Orica-AIS, winning the Tour of Chongming Island in 2012.
