    Australian Olympic cyclist, Rohan Dennis, has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge over the death of his wife, Olympian Melissa Hoskins


    Hoskins was hit by a car Dennis was driving in front of their home in Adelaide last December.

    In court today prosecutors dropped charges of dangerous driving causing death and driving without due care.

    Dennis pleaded guilty to creating likelihood of harm - which carries a maximum penalty of seven years jail.
